Goals for 2023

• Be the infinitely better alternative over Crossangles

  • Be the main timetable planner that is mentioned in the Facebook UNSW Discussion Group and on r/UNSW.

• A fun and safe space for members to up skill and put both their technical and soft skills into practice, like you would in the workplace.

• Create long-lasting friendships

• All whilst putting out the features the general public want that are mentioned in the Goals sections.

• A supportive environment that embraces everyone’s differences.

• Ensure everyone is included in conversations (in-person and online)

  • This includes asking each member, if they are having any problems or if they disagree with anything we have said.

• Read through pull requests and try to merge in only clean code to dev.

Coding Related (Long Term)

• Social timetabling → Refer to Social Timetabling for more info.

• Refactor code (we need to do something about drag.ts )

• Improve UI with the help of the UI/UX team

• Collab with Circles

  • Users can share their degree plans via our social timetabling feature.

• Duplicate custom user events once the card has already been created.

• Add a scroll bar to unscheduled section.

• Automate timetable scraping to fortnightly.

• Allow users to create multiple timetables.

Other things to Implement (Admin)

• To onboard members, for both this year and next year, keep things documented well!!

  • → ensures code and current progress is easier for next year’s team to understand without having to repeatedly contact us.

• Continue to use the Jira board and keep branch names adhering to rules.

• Ensure everyone has prettier installed, so that we keep style consistent

• Encourage pair programming, where we pair members with the same ‘skill’ level together to work on a feature.

Non-coding related Goals

• Have weekly in-person meetings for the first 4 weeks, then fortnightly in-person meetings.

  • Try to keep the formal part of the meetings to no less than 2 hours

  • Have a consistent meetup place

  • Have dinner after the meeting or lunch before

  • Once a term, have at least 1 fun team bonding activity e.g. bowling, karaoke, go-karting, paintball, laser tag etc.
