We're looking for web designers and developers to help build the UX of the Almanac itself. It will be a static website home to each annual report and read like an ebook to help users navigate the various sections and chapters.

Designers should have the bandwidth throughout July and August to conceptualize the UX of the website and the data visualizations used by the chapters. This is a big burden so we're open to contracting this out. See this Upwork post for the full details of the design work.

Update: We've hired contractors to do the illustration and design work. You can join the discussion in the #web-almanac-design Slack channel.

Developers will be responsible for implementing the designers' vision and merging it with the authors' written content, while following accessibility and SEO best practices.

According to the plan, there should already be some development activity. I presume that the development will be concentrated towards the end of the project, but is there anything that we can get started on so long? Also, which would be the most appropriate medium for questions/discussion? (before I spam this thread)

Great question! We have a few media for discussion:

In this case the specific task is "start building the development environment", so I'll create that issue and we can discuss implementation details there.

Thanks @tjmonsi! If you're also interested in learning how to query the dataset and extracting stats for each chapter you can join the @HTTPArchive/data-analysts team. For this team we're looking for web developers/designers to help build the UX of the Almanac website. If that still sounds like something you're interested in, you can join the dev team at this link: @HTTPArchive/developers, and also see #25 for our first issue.

@rviscomi it seems I can't find the @HTTPArchive/developers team :) I also like to understand bigquery because I am also working on it on a different project. Learning how you guys do it will essentially make my work on another project easier :)

@rviscomi Still interested. Sorry if not active, loads of things happening. What's needed implementing?

Great. @tjmonsi @matijagrcic I've added you both to the team. Right now we're just getting the web server set up in #25. Once that's done we'll move on to creating some base templates and a temporary splash page to be deployed to almanac.httparchive.org while the project is under construction.

Maybe we could use Vue for this? We could combine it with ES6 Modules. Therefore we could keep the website static but interactive, and not have to add Node to the mix.

@arswaw mind if we move the discussion of tech stack to #25?

@KJLarson we're just getting off the ground but I'm sure there will be opportunities for folks like yourself! We'll tag intro-level tasks with the Good First Issue and Development labels so you can more easily find them. If you're interested I'll add you to the developer team.

@rviscomi count me in for the SEO part. I could assist designers and developers to follow SEO best practices (review, SEO-QA..Etc).

Great thanks @AymenLoukil! I can think of something SEO related for you to do right away. I'll create the issue and assign it to you.
