Blitzweekend project: getting real with GoalR blitzweekend項目：獲得真正的與goalr

Ever since自從 I attended 37 signals “Getting Real” workshop我參加了37個信號“獲得真正的”講習班 I’ve want to put some of their design principles to the test.我已經想提出他們的一些設計原則，以測試。 My company is Syntenic, a boutique consulting and services shop primarily focused on web operations, performance optimization via application delivery controllers (load balancing and server offload) and 24×7 high availability geographically distributed architecture.我公司是syntenic ，精品諮詢和服務店主要集中於網絡業務，通過性能優化的應用交付控制器（的負載平衡和服務器卸載）和24 × 7的高可用性在地理上的分佈式體系結構。 What this means is that we are usually helping enhance the performance and reliability of our customers applications instead of building our own.這意味著什麼，就是我們通常是幫助提高性能和可靠性，我們的客戶申請，而是在建設我們自己。 Recently this has been changing as we increasingly are redesigning or developing applications from scratch for our customers.最近，這已改變，因為我們越來越多的重新設計或開發應用程序的從無到有，為我們的客戶。

Blitzweekend blitzweekend in Montreal has given us the opportunity to give在蒙特利爾給了我們機會，給 the getting real approach該得到真正的做法 and Ruby on Rails in particular a whirl.和紅寶石對鋼軌，特別是旋轉。 Our challenge was to come up with a project idea that was feasible in one weekend including conception and coding.我們面臨的挑戰是想出了一個項目的想法是可行的，在一個週末，包括概念和編碼。 It didn’t take much to convince our web codemonkey extraordinaire它沒有考慮很多，以說服我們的網站codemonkey extraordinaire Will Stevens將史蒂文斯 to take on the challenge.採取對的挑戰。 Lucky for us since he has to do all the real work (including learning rails on the fly)!幸運的我們，因為他已經盡一切真正的工作（包括學習鐵軌上飛） ！ Alistair Croll阿利斯泰爾croll joined on as our resident marketing genius.加入對我們的駐地營銷天才。 The onus was on me to come up with a simple enough project, which ultimately was inspired by an article I read several years ago about one of Google’s management approaches: employees were asked to list their objectives at the start of every week and report at the end of the week which of their objectives have been obtained.舉證責任是對我來了一個簡單的足夠的項目，該項目最終的靈感一篇文章，我看過幾年前約1 Google的管理辦法：員工被要求列出他們的目標在開始時每星期和報告在上月底的一周內，其中他們的目標已獲得。 I’m not a fan of task management, listing and tracking to-dos can take more time than getting them done.我不是一個範的任務管理，上市和跟踪- DOS的，可以採取更多的時間，比讓他們這樣做。 The big challenge I have from a management perspective is keeping all my objectives or in my sights, the tasks required to complete the higher level goals seem to follow easily as long as I can keep focused on the goal.大的挑戰，我從管理的角度來看，是保持我所有的目標，或在我的目光，任務必須完成上級的目標似乎很容易跟進，只要我可以繼續集中於目標。 You don’t become a great goal scorer by looking at the puck, thinking about stick handling or ball dribbling.你不成為一個偉大的目標得分看圓盤，思想，關於堅持處理或球帶球。 Great players keep their head up and keep their eyes on where the puck or the ball needs to go.偉大的球員保持其頭部和保持他們的眼睛就如冰球或球需要去。

Aren’t you a little short for a goaltender? 是不是你有點短，一goaltender ？
Perhaps the sports analogy isn’t perfect but I’m going to run with it.也許是體育的比喻，並非十全十美，但我要去運行它。 The application is codenamed “goaltender” shortened to GoalR (www.goalr.net) because all the other domains were taken.應用是代號為“ goaltender ”縮短至goalr （ www.goalr.net ） ，因為所有的其他領域採取了。 GoalR e-mails you at the start of the week asking you what your objectives for week are, the goals in question. goalr電子郵件，您在開始的一周內，要求您有什麼您的目標是為週，目標在質詢。 At the end of the week you are prompted to indicate which goals you managed to “score,” or worse yet admit defeat.在上月底的一周內會提示您說明哪些目標，你管理的“評分” ，或更糟的，但承認失敗。 We are looking to allow the user to score.我們正研究允許用戶評分。 If we have time we will introduce the concept of teams and rosters, allow team members to track, encourage even heckle their fellows in pursuit of their goals.如果我們有時間，我們將引進的概念，團隊和名冊，讓團隊成員進行追踪，鼓勵，甚至heckle他們的研究員在追求其目標。 We’d love to introduce the concept of assists, if we can figure out how that would work.我們很樂意引進的概念，助攻，如果我們能弄清楚如何將工作。
