Expectations for how the system will work

Page history last edited by PBworks 17 years, 10 months ago

Goals

Three main things should become available in HMWV 2.0.

Donors info should be exposed on the front page if they wish, including their link.
- The plugin (gotta think of a name...) could use the comments system for capturing and tracking the pledges. We'd add some code to hook when a comment is posted via wordpress api and add some fields to the comment/pledge form.
Donors should be allowed to leave comments on the front page.
- Another functionality of the plugin, output a list of list (if applicable) from the db, formatted with the css of the page
Donors should be able to set up an automatic monthly pledge.
- Comment/Pledge form would have a field for this.

User Experience for one-time pledges

I go to the front page of HMWV.

I click the "donate" button which takes me to a page where I:

Enter how much $$ i want to pledge.
Choose how I want to pay (paypal, CC)
Enter my name (or keep it blank)
Enter my link (or keep it blank)
Enter a comment (or keep it blank)
Click "submit" button
Get a "success!" message, plus I can "email your friends who you think should donate" or I can go back to the main page.
- All could be done on the posting of the Comment/Pledge form.

Once I've pledged my money, everyone should see 3 things immediately:

My name/link in the list of donors
- Comment/Pledge listing just like the comments list on a blog permalink page
Any comment I made about the project
- see above
an up-to-date thermometer that lists how much more money is needed.
- this would refresh a 'thermometer' guage on the sidebar (sidebar is present in each page?)

User Experience for Automatic Payments

We allow people to set up an automatic pledge. Like 10$ a month for 12 months.

The money will go into our account which we will use for projects.

I click on the "automatic pledge" button which takes me to a page that explains how this will work.

(allow users to create a username/password (??) so they can always cancel/modify this service)--is this a barrier to entry?
Enter how much $$ i want to pledge each month automatically.
Choose how I want to pay (paypal, CC)
Enter my name (or keep it blank)
Enter my link (or keep it blank)
Click "submit" button
Get a "success!" message, plus I can "email your friends who you think should donate" or I can go back to the main page.
- see above

Once I've set up my Automatic Pledge, everyone should see:

My name/link in the list of "Power donors" (or whatever we call them)
- see above
