Group 3 - Developers Group
- just developing a platform does not automatically make young people get involved
- keep in mind that most times such online tools are the only opportunity for young people to get involved (thats the difference to adult users)
- find balance between bottom up and top down: always try to get early feedback and testing by users
- try to get feature requests from a very broad user group and cluster feature request
- dont be disappointed if not all features can be implemented
- think first about the issues to address and then wonder if the solution is building something from scratch or combining existing tools
- start with the participation process and how to get young people involved, and then see if you can use a tool
The results that were proposed by the Developement group are:
