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: 
        1. Displaying size one when user clicks on an image-- Mira investigating
        2. Fix "image unavailable" statement to "Image may not be further enlarged due to copyright restrictions"
        3. Activate link for copyright statement.
        4. Investigating link option in background
      • Metadata
        1. Investigate issues with search/index (so that user can search on "robin" and get results -- not "American Robin"
      • Help Pages
        1. 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.
    • 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.
