Lab 7: Milestone 2 Demo Preparation - bounswe/bounswe2025group1 GitHub Wiki

1. Demo Data Strategy

For MVP Milestone Demo, we will focus on presenting with more domain-specific data. On the first demo, we focused on having real gardens and realistic content such as "Kadıköy Bostanı", "Çankaya Mutlukent Bostanı", "İmrahor Lavanta Bahçeleri", "Kuzguncuk Bostanı" which all exist and already community-driven, so they lay good examples for when such an app for coordination could be needed. For the second demo we will increase the number of examples such as adding the garden that belongs to tarlataban, which is a good and relatable example in Boğaziçi.

Based on the recieved feedback, we will focus on making the data more self-spoken and explanatory. To illustrate our task creation and assignment feature during demo, we went with a task called "Water the hydrangeas." In retrospect, example data needs to paint the picture more clearly. What a hydrangea is may not be clear for everyone, so there is a need for a domain-specific information content presented. Therefore not only a new requirement was born but we will also have the application with more data on nature, plants and gardening. There will be content for questions like "What is a hydrangea", "What type of soil does it like", "Should it be cared inside or outdoors", "In what climate conditions does it thrive (sun/soil type/ temperature/shade/humidity)". The reason for needing such data is the fact that this platform is community-focused an values collaboration, sob beginner questions and domain data will always be needed.

Previously we used Turkish personas for showcasing language support. For this demo, although the focus wont be on language, we will still use Turkish personas for relatability. It will be focusing on events this time, and we decided to use a "New Year Celebration Event" for the festive spirit since the new year is coming up. We used a grden in Adana because it is a suitable climate for most plants, and famous for festival events and celebrations regarding agriculturre. We also added a garden from Hatay as well to showcase on of our new features - gardens near me. To be able to show chat feature, we added multiple users to gardens and chatted prior to demo.
