The initial development team is currently working on the visual design phase of the redesign of Interactive Narratives 2.0. This initial team includes a programmer, designer and developer. Our PHP/MySQL programmer, Ervic Aquino, has been with this project since the original concept in 2003. Ervic developed the original database and has since maintained the upkeep of the site through his servers, all in-kind. My brother and previous-business partner from DeVigal Design, is re-designing the visual look. And a CSS mark-up developer, Jason Speck, will be translating the visual mock-ups to web specifications. During the next phase of Interactive Narratives 2.0, or 2.1 to be exact, I've asked a few advising folks to come on board to help in the new direction of the interactivity. The advising board include Keith Jenkins of the Washington Post, Joe Weiss of SoundSlides and Regina McCombs of the Star Tribune. They will help determine the direction and useful of certain functionalities to the site. The site announced the redesign about a week and have already over 100 folks signed up as early beta-testers. The who's who on this list that will tremendously contribute to the guidance phase include Richard Koci Hernandez from The San Jose Mercury News, Seth Gitner from Roanoke Times, Mindy McAdams of University of Florida, John Poole of NPR and Rex Sorgatz of Fimoculous. Additional team members have yet to be named if this proposal goes through. But known requirements would include a quality assurance moderator, widget developers (facebook, netvibes, firefox extensions) and back-end developers that enhance the user experience and improve some of the functionality.
