Please feel free to modify and elaborate the competency map with topics you feel need to be discusssed.  We'll make a prettier version soon - but let's use the wiki as a brain dump space for now.

It may be worthwhile to look at The Web Standards Project and their Interact curriculum: interact.webstandards.org/curriculum/framework/

There are going to be many similarities, but what issues of Openness do we need to explore? Copyright issues? Privacy and Trust Online?

Process

  • Brainstorm and compile a list of skills from different perspectives through a series of interviews with
    • Employers (Lucian)
    • Web Standards Expert (John)
    • Potential Graduates (John, Drumbeat community, Participants of Mashing Up the Open Web)
    • Educators (John)
  • Evaluate skill list with respect to possible personas
    • Open Web Developer
    • Open Web Designer
    • Others
  • Compile a summary of what we've learned from the interview process and share back with interviewees, request feedback.
  • Sometime after this point we're going to want to go down the route of presenting to the public via the Drumbeat site and call for improvements, criticisms, and endorsements.

Interview Template

  • What does it mean to be an open web developer?
  • How do you assess the soft-skills in a web developer?
  • What level should the P2PU open web developer certification be?
  • What are the most important subject ares to an open web developer?
  • What courses would be useful that may not be totally apparent?
  • How long should it take to complete all the courses?
  • How would you recommend we handle varied skill levels?

Here is a .dot file. The .dot file can be edited in text editor and visualized with Graphviz or other graph software. You can also open .dot files in OmniGraffle to make them pretty, but unfortunately not save back in .dot format (bad OmniGraffle!).

I wrote a blog post about the process and above is an example made with OmniGraffle.
