Challenge Summary
Welcome to TC Online Review Timeline Wireframe contest.
TopCoder has a competition type known as Bug Races. They are used to tap into the community's talent for smaller tasks that don't quite fit into a larger scoped contest. They cover more than "bugs", and are often used for incremental improvements, UI updates, documentation updates, etc. We currently run the Bug Races using Jira. There is some integration currently that allows users to create/view Bug Races from Cockpit, but there is not a clean integration between our Bug Race process/technology and our core platform technology (Online Review, Cockpit, etc.).
We would like to convert the Bug Races process so it runs as a competition type within Online Review, which is then exposed to the community sites and Cockpit as a standard contest type. We want to gain the advantages that Online Review gives us such as registration management, terms management, resource management, payment management, review processes, associations to cockpit projects and billing accounts, etc. Also, from the customer/Cockpit perspective it will make it easier to include Bug Races in game plans, schedule them for future dates, create dependencies to other contest types, select winners, etc.
The new Bug Race will have multiple submissions/review phases so we will have new timeline view in Online Review.
In this contest, we need your help to create a wireframe based on provided conceptualization document. At the end of this contest we are looking for a process flow and layout design of the functionality mentioned in document. You solution must have all required functionality, user friendly, intuitive and easy to use.
