Key documents

• We store research plans, scripts, and summaries in the research branch, which is organized by sprint name.
• For editorial style, we follow the 18F Content Guide.
• Our project hypotheses document why we're doing what we're doing, and what we're hoping to accomplish.
• For more about how to contribute to the site, see our contributing guidelines.

Current work and project hypotheses

This section is an experiment in showing what we're working on right now. This section might change as we figure out what's useful to put here.

Based on user research

• Try featuring a different project on the homepage, with more keywords about 18F’s work.
  • See release FestiveFjord for new fec.gov feature
• Revise introductory language about 18F to use plain language and avoid tech jargon.
  • tag: theme:about-18F
  • See release FestiveFjord for revised language on the homepage
• Provide examples of how 18F worked with agencies to solve their problems.
  • tag: theme:project-pages
• Clarify the intake process and tell people what to expect after emailing 18F.
• Move crucial guides — particularly ones that potential partners need to understand — into the 18F website.

Other priorities

Support 18F transparency in order to build trust, both within and outside of government.

Make the site maintainable for a small team. This means that the content, design, and code of the site should be as resilient as possible, and built for the long run.
