Important

During this prototype phase, please add change requests to the related Figjam board.

• What's new page
• All news and events page
• Changelog page

Problem statement

The what's new page is a single feed with no content hierarchy. We should create a prototype that organizes the content on the what's new page with a clear visual hierarchy.

Solution

Created new content types and added them to the what's new page.

Major changes

• Added new content to the What's new page
  • Latest releases of our products
    • Lets users know about our major products and their current version numbers
    • CTAs to product release notes
  • Monthly call card
    • CTA to see our latest monthly calls
  • "Connect with us" cards
    • Newsletter: CTA to sign up for the newsletter
    • Discussions: CTA to join USWDS discussions
  • Consolidated changelog
    • This changelog pulls in all changelog data from across the site and sorts items in reverse chronological order.
    • Created a changelog subpage to see more items
• Created new changelog types and retroactively updated changelog data to fit
  • Created new "affects" keys: isAddition, isDeletion, affectsLinks, affectsPageContent
• Created changelog subpage

Testing and review

Content

• Confirm the copy throughout the page matches USWDS voice and is free from error
• Confirm the content is organized in an effective way and presents an appropriate visual hierarchy
• Confirm the changelog and all news pages display the expected information

Design

• Confirm the elements match style standards on the site
• Confirm the visual hierarchy is appropriate
• Confirm the elements on the page display as expected at all screen widths

Code

• Confirm the general approach to automation meets standards. Code will be further refined in USWDS-Site - What's new: Build production code for phase 2 prototype #3113.

Everything looks great - I just added 3 comments to the FigJam board related to using links vs buttons (can't remember if we addressed this in our discussion during CS UX sync) and also a small copy change for the explanatory text for Changelog (the text didn't match on the main "What's New" page versus the Changelog page). Nice work!
