VRWG Meeting Agenda & Notes: 9-11-07
Project Updates:
- Lab of O
- We are in the final phases of development- still awaiting approval from Lab before final release.
- Susette & Gale conducted Usability Studies on the collection and came up with a list of recommendations (see Usability Results)
- The following recommendations fell within the "feasible" realm:
- Copyright:
- Displaying size one when user clicks on an image-- Mira investigating
- Fix "image unavailable" statement to "Image may not be further enlarged due to copyright restrictions"
- Activate link for copyright statement.
- Investigating link option in background
- Metadata
- Investigate issues with search/index (so that user can search on "robin" and get results -- not "American Robin"
- Help Pages
- Glen, who is on the documentation committee, will work with team to create new help documentation. Eli agreed to send on documentation related to this.
- Copyright:
- MOU for ongoing maintenance-- this is in its final phases and will be shared with group upon completion (likely next meeting)
- MacDougall
- Anticipated load TBD-- likely late fall/early winter. Stay tuned.
- KVRF
- Done! Things seem to be progressing smoothly with regards to weekly uploads. Hopefully we can post documentation regarding workflow on wiki (Mira/Surinder?)
- Luna 6.0
- Release date still TBD, but Surinder will keep us informed. Sounds like there will be significant changes.
