Hope you all had a great holiday weekend (or a great weekend even if not a holiday where you are). The implementation is moving forward for the bundles. The pending release now allows me to add, delete, re-order and edit items within a given bundle. The re-ordering is not good – you have to manually change the “position” of each item. While functional, this isn’t good enough to release – so I will be refactoring this tomorrow.
Progress Update
The following items (from our previous update) have a first implementation complete:
- Each bundle is created by an individual (Paul the program manager).
- Each bundle has a subject and description (â€Intro to Use Cases†and “A tutorial that is designed…â€).
- Each bundle is composed of multiple items, and the items have an order (1,2,3,…).
- Each item is created by an individual.
- Bundles may allow for collaboration (multiple people submitting / editing items).
- Bundles have categories and experience levels (â€Testing,…†and “Beginnerâ€).
The following items have not yet been implemented:
- Each item can point to / represent / contain a single article, or it can be “emptyâ€.
- Bundles can be rated and reviewed by users.
- Bundles may allow for collaboration (multiple people submitting / editing items).
How You Can Help
Bundles will demonstrate their power by providing vetted collections of articles on a single topic. You can help by starting to populate nexus with articles that you might want to combine into bundles. Or you can help by submitting articles about use cases – anything to do with use cases. The first bundle that I am going to create will be a “how to write use cases” bundle. Many of the articles that I believe I will include are articles that I’ve written over the last 18 months. I would love it if I could include other articles by other authors.
So – our team goal is to get a critical mass of articles about use cases – how to write them, how to use them, manage them, whatever. Submit some articles today. If you only submit one, that still helps a lot.
Hi,
I would like to know how to submit articles for this site?

Hi Mukesh, thanks very much for asking. There are some pretty good tutorials on the help page at nexus – http://tynerblain.com/nexus/help
I would suggest looking at “How do I submit an article?” and “Why can’t I submit an article?”
If those two don’t answer your questions – please let me know.
Thanks again
