Updating content in preparation of the new version dropping at the end of the year

This weekend, I have been having some fun getting serious about images. I have also done some work to prepare for the release of Invision Community that I assume will drop around the end of the year. It might be sooner, but I am in no hurry, as I have plenty of other things to do at the moment. One of those things is to plan the new structure of the website here, as there are quite a lot of changes happening for both content and design.

This weekend I have updated the forums a bit so they have descriptions and are toned back a bit when it comes to colors and things like that. I am also adding a new level since the new design require that, and I have moved a few things around to accommodate the new databases I have added. Those databases are the Atlassian Release Notes, Atlassian Product Versions and the Atlassian CVE databases.

In the clubs, I have created two new clubs: The Swedish Jira Users and the Content Creator clubs. Swedish Jira Users will be for local Swedish users that prefer to discuss things in Swedish, and the Content Creator club are for those of us that create content on various social media and on our websites or blogs. This should be enough for now and show that there are more than just one club.

For the blogs, I have added a second group blog named "If you don't - Mind" where I will post more about psychology and how that affects us. It is a pretty big area and I hope we will see that people will enjoy it, have opinions and of course contribute with their own perspectives.

I am also getting back to add Stories that I will rebuild a bit to remove the colors to unify the color scheme. For now, I am adding news update as I find them in the Atlassian Community and some other resources.

I am going to duplicate the databases for Articles and Videos because I want to divide them into My Articles (since it is my website) and community content. So rather than messing with the categories, I will keep the database separately. This way I can also develop those separately, which will be good since I might have different need than the community in general. Both Articles and Videos will be rebuilt to reset the design and go back to a more standardized template. I also want to make sure the videos especially get more room in the display template.

I will also make some changes to the My Projects database, since I have not updated that in a while. As I am looking for new employment, I will also update my CV's in the Files section and I want to make sure I have my projects updated with proper information in case potential employers drop by and read it.

For all content, I will do a massive overhaul of the graphics. This is one of the reason why I am also investing in graphics and set up new workflows. The idea is that all content will have new graphics that is optimized and in the WebP format. While doing this, I am also going to promote some content or repurpose it into new content. This will reduce the content size and improve load times by a lot, but it is also a massive undertaking that will take a while to get through.

So there are things happening, even if you might not see much design wise 🤖
