Context

Over the years the VIVO Project has accumulated mailing lists, wikis, repositories, web sites, and other digital assets.  Newcomers and project veterans are often bewildered by the collection.  Parts of the collection appear to be maintained and useful while other parts appear to have been abandoned.  A review is needed to inventory the assets and make recommendations about future role (if any) for each asset.

Goals for the Remodel

1. Create a modern look.  More like Twitter Bootstrap.
2. Create a responsive/mobile-first site.  VIVO must be perceived as current.
3. Focus on adopters and the "Why VIVO?" message (marketing).  Other sites have other roles:
   1. Github is for development – core development, ontology development, apps and tools development
   2. This wiki is for community participation – contributed effort through task forces, project governance, and reference materials

Context

http://vivoweb.org is the public-facing, Drupal-based, Duraspace hosted, web site for the VIVO project.  It is currently (as of 29 May 2015 ) being remodeled and moved from Cornell hosting to Duraspace hostingImplementation of recommendations is beyond the scope of this task force. Future task force(s) will implement the recommendations made by this task force.

Objectives

1. Define the attributes to be collected for each asset
2. Create an inventory of VIVO assets
3. For each asset recommend the future role of the asset
