Challenge Summary
TopCoder are going to start taking some steps to refactor and improve the TopCoder community sites.
The first one we will start with is www.topcoder.com/tc. The current structure forces the contest types to be split into separate pages (i.e. there is a separate active/past/stats/etc. page for each contest type. Take development contest type for example, these links are http://www.topcoder.com/tc?module=ViewActiveContests&ph=113 , http://www.topcoder.com/tc?module=CompList&ph=113 , http://www.topcoder.com/tc?module=ContestStatus&pt=2)
We would like to refactor this so that we have flexibility in how they retrieve and display contest data. Some of the goals include:
- Consolidating the navigation on /tc
- Allowing the member to filter contests how they choose instead of having to navigate to many different contest pages.
- Provide more filtering options to users
The goal of this competition is to create Wireframes to show how you would restructure and illustrate the layout of /tc home page, navigation, and contests pages without defining the graphical -look and feel-.
Round 1
At the end of Round One, TopCoder will choose 5 winners; each will win $50 and a Design Review. These winners and any member who had a passing submission in Round One will be eligible to compete in Round 2 for the additional $1000 in prizes.
In this Round. competitors should finish all the required pages.
Round 2
Round 2 will start with the announcement of the five $50 Round 1 winners and the posting of their design reviews in the contest forum.
