<~vijay.karthik> What is the definition of "new"? and what kind of objects are in focus?

Looks like it has to be discussed....

It looks like there has been quite some discussion on this on Mattermost, and the latest state there was to add a question about this to the JPAL survey. @clarabracklo do we already have some feedback on that question?

[clarabracklo]

@LeandraH There is no feedback from JPAL on this so far but I will check with the researchers. We can also spread this question to our Integreat-Community and get feedback this way. Would that be helpful as well?

[LeandraH]

That would be great!

[clarabracklo]

@LeandraH Update von JPAL: Aktuell steht eine neue Befragungsrunde mit neuen Teilnehmenden an. Die Frage wird in die Folgebefragung in ein paar Monaten aufgenommen, wenn die Befragten schon ein bisschen Erfahrung mit Integreat gesammelt haben. Es dauert also noch bis wir hier Rückmeldungen durch JPAL haben werden. Wir machen uns in der Zwischenzeit mal Gedanken wie wir euch schon früher durch die Community einen Eindruck geben können :)

[clarabracklo]

@LeandraH @juliawohlhueter Will put the question forward in our community and get some insights from them. We plan to give you feedback in the first week of February :)

[LeandraH]

It would be easier to ask the community with a design of how this should look.
The question of when exactly an event is new can be discussed later.

[LeandraH]

Here's another Mattermost thread about this: https://chat.tuerantuer.org/digitalfabrik/pl/byjiez1j3tgs8ja39tsnm4i7ky

We asked our Integreat-Facebook-Community if highlighting new events would be helpful for them.

We got 9 votes for "yes, it would be helpful" and 2 for "no I don't need that". In the Facebook-Community, 12 votes is a pretty high participation, usually we get around 3-5 votes.
Is that already helpful for you or do you need something else/ more answers?

Our ideas for the next steps are:

• we could write direct messages to the voters -> ask them further questions
• we could ask the Community-Members to choose between two designs
• we could ask another more specific question
• we could also take a more specific question or a design-question to our target group workshop in Dortmund

What would be helpful for you? What would be the best next step for you?

[LeandraH]

Honestly, I think that is already pretty much all we need. What do you think @hauf-toni ?

[hauf-toni]

I agree with @LeandraH. Also, a user testing with a design proposal (possibly an A/B-Test) would be a good idea.

[clarabracklo]

@LeandraH @hauf-toni Thank you! Let us know if we can be of help with any further steps :)

Please review the two variants provided in Figma: https://www.figma.com/file/cA4F2MwHs2LNGviOWUjfE9/Integreat-Tickets-Frontend?type=design&node-id=2522%3A109&mode=design&t=PwPf8ziK0er5vRiv-1

I would suggest including this issue in our next roadmap @steffenkleinle

[steffenkleinle]

Sure, sounds good. I think it still needs a little bit of clarification though, in what case do news count as new? As long as the event detail is opened? One time until the event overview is opened again? For one week?

Also, should the label neu/new be translated to all languages?

[hauf-toni]

@steffenkleinle fair point. I would recommend an interaction and duration-based approach: The "new" label should stay on the event for 5 days or until the user opens the event page—whichever comes first. This balances time relevance + user interaction, ensuring the label remains helpful without overstaying its welcome ( 😺 ).

[steffenkleinle]

Thanks @hauf-toni! I guess the duration-based approach should only be dependent on the date of the event creation/publishing, not on further updates of the event later on like fixing a typo, right? If so, we need this exposed in the API by the cms team.

[hauf-toni]

as discussed today with @osmers and @steffenkleinle we’re sticking with the duration + interaction-based approach mentioned above. The "new" label will stay on the event for 5 days or disappear once the user opens the event page—whichever comes first. Additionally, there should be an option to filter events by "newly added." I’ll update the design accordingly and take the other planned changes (time period filter, category filter) into account.
