VRWG Meeting notes: March 26

Passwords & User profiles:

Mira presented a new scenario for dealing with passwords and profiles, and suggests limiting the number to around three-four different profiles.  To implement these changes, we will plan to meet  first with those on the "front lines" of working with patrons (Susette, Karen, Greta, Jeanine), so we can identify the ideal scenario from their perspective.  We will then meet with stakeholders- RMC, KVRF, HFJ- to develop a new scheme and limit the number of p/w & profiles.

Luna 6.0 

Surinder is working with Drake to get 6.0 up and running.  There is still no estimated date as to when this will happen.  Surinder will keep the group informed.

Danielle asked for volunteers to participate in developing a test plan for Luna 6.0.  In particular, we want to test 1) cross collection searching, 2) Luna & Webfeat (federated searching), 3) authentication, 4) Java Client and annotations.  Susette, Karen, Margaret, Mira, Danielle, and Rick will work on this (please let me know if I've missed anyone who would like to participate).

Greta and Jeanine gave an overview of the VRA conference they attended in San Diego, including some of the highlighted functionality of Luna 6.0. 

Help pages

Glen and Karen gave updates on recent changes made to the Help pages.  Thanks to everyone who helped out with this!

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.
