 While some things require the use of electricity, during the early ideation phase you could consider wireframing or rapid prototyping (using paper) among other offline tools to reduce energy consumption. Even the electronic versions of these may have a lower carbon cost than committing to building a full-blown experience for each idea.

We need to use electricity since XWiki is using a collaborative development model, across different countries. Moving everyone to a single place for brainstorming would cost too much in energy (a lot more than using electricity version for sure).

Success Criteria

Wireframes And Prototypes

 Wireframes, and rapid prototyping are utilized to quickly build consensus, reduce risk, and lower the number of resources needed to build features.

Done through Design pages and Forum proposals. See also the Dev Practices page. All important decisions are taken by consensus (see also Committership).

Participation And Testing

 Users are involved within the iteration and design process using participatory design, and when conducting user-testing reach out to your community to help improve your product by allowing them to apply their knowledge and experience to your product or service.

XWiki does collaborative development. The process is described on the Dev Practices page. Some specific points:

• Design pages
• Forum proposals and discussions with the community (who are users)
• Open development, accepting Pull Requests and Committership
• Ability for uses to report issues in an issue tracker

This leads to less rework needed overall, and is thus more efficient on the long term.
