Information about what kind of work GrantsBot does in the portal, including a description of currently scoped features and a development timeline, as well as a wishlist for features that should be developed in the future.

Activity feed

GrantsBot will update the activity feed on a daily basis, providing alerts about certain kinds of events. Currently, four types of event notifications are under development.

Under development

• Someone created a new pattern
• Someone endorsed a pattern
• Someone asked a question
• Someone created a participant profile

Wishlist

• X people are working on this [pattern/case study/other learning resource]
• Someone created a new [case study/blog post/other learning resource]
• Someone posted an announcement in the Press room.

Featured content galleries

These are the little windows that have a rotating set of profiles in them (profiles of people, pages, etc.). There are two on the main portal page and one for recent questions on the Parlor.

Profile guides

A Guide is the term for those groovy lists that have neat things like titles, summaries, timestamps, and which are ordered by recency. There are several of them on the Library page.

• Patterns
• Participant profiles

Wishlist

Currently, the guides for Case studies, Learning modules, and Other resources, will have to be updated manually, meaning that someone will have to dump info into a template and paste it onto the relevant page. In future, we can hopefully update these automatically.
