Content for email to thank people for their contributions
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the requirements documents for Displaying images and Embedding external media.
...
I found your contributions easy to understand, especially where you provided links to examples. I was pleased with how many of you had the same or similar requirements, as this builds a case to develop to some common need and benefit many users.
I have written these requirements up as user stories (

expressing the description of a software feature from a user perspective) and am sharing
...
the (self-explanatory, I hope) titles with you so you both know what I have captured, and so you can feedback to me where I may have missed or misunderstood something you said.
Note that this is list does not represent a commitment to develop all these features, as that is a project management/governance decision. It is a check that I have accurately documented or expressed your requirements.
- Displaying images: I have written five user stories:
- Upload and publish an image in one step: A drag and drop feature that lets you place an image on a page you are creating and it is uploaded in to Squiz and saved in the background.
- Resize an image easily: Many of you shared that image resizing is a challenge, so this story describes how it could be made easier. It has a linked story that is a cheat sheet resource on how to do this easier/better.
- Add a caption to an image: Without having to work in the HTML, with simple tools to reposition and preview your work.
- Publish an image alongside text: Images to illustrate a story/text block in an attractive way but easy to achieve.
- Display a collection of images: A template that makes this easy and looks great. For times when many images are appropriate.
- Embedding external media: I have written two user stories:
- Scaffold the embedding of popular external media: Make it simple to embed from the most common external media sources, while being secure. It could have a linked story that is a good practise guideline on how to do this easier/better.
- Display a collection of embedded assets: Appropriate for resource collections such as recorded lecturers, tutorials, etc.
Please come back to me if you have further questions or input.
Once again, thanks for making a contribution.
