Catch-up, Announcements
- This is an opportunity to share news and information of interest to this or other community groups
- UI team progress—search and browse development progress has been slow which offers additional time to review use cases
- No deadline
- Team is building governance for development
- No visuals or mock-ups yet; focus on "plumbing"
- Development order remains unchanged
What are the requirements for creating 3-5 non-functional UI "sketches" to be used in discussing/presenting DSpace 7 development?
- Would like to establish a spec, what to instruct a designer, in order for them to develop 3-5 sketches-mock-ups-non-working visual designs of screens that would represent aspects of the new UI for use in upcoming presentations and marketing materials.
- DSpace steering group has approved a small budget for this purpose
- OR presentation from 2016—working demo presented by Tim Donohue; can this be repurposed?
- Wouter will ask UI team for requirements
- Functionality and structure should be shown
- Clean, well-designed basic template—what would be installed by default
- Show how use cases are reflected in aspects of visual design
- Show broad functionality–search page, should be enticing
- New UI–some of the user base is afraid of losing features, mock-up of homepage could reassure users that features would be there
- Is there a way to use this process (roll out iterative sketches) to engage the community?
- We have heard from the community that they are hoping to see
- 1-2 mock-ups at a time with a feedback loop?
- Will someone from this group manage a complex communications-feedback-design loop process?
- Channels for feedback would be the same as those we use to get the word out–lists, social media
- We need a timeline for this project, Carol
SWAG/logo discussion
- Last meeting we talked about need for a new logo/DSpace brand before developing SWAG
- group agreement on need for a new logo
- Several related aspects
- web site
- branding campaign
- image of DSpace would be renewed along with new UI
- https://99designs.com is a system for distributed development of logo designs–voting, feedback, iterative design
- Carol to provide more information
- How will the review/feedback group be comprised?
- Final approval by the DSpace steering group
Review draft blog post: Message regarding attendance at targeted meetings/conferences
- Some of these conferences in table have name of presos, all–please update; establish a way to identify people at events
- "ask me about DSpace 7"—sticker or pin?
- Carol to develop options
- Blog post ok to publish
Review use cases related to authentication and authorization
CALL to action: feedback and comments wanted on browse and search edited use cases—add comments anytime
- Integration - Integration with external authentication / authorisation system
- single sign-on service integration, how does the user start their sign-on story? clicks login button and should get options;
- use of parameters regarding the LDAP or shibboleth authentication that could include “role of person” or ORCiD —use of specific parameters, this is a relevant system admin use case
- more flexibility in the fields we want to see in describing the “ePerson”
- Add another use case—if we come up with UC that are not currently defined and are not in scope, we can revisit later
Integrations - Authentication through Multiple Mechanisms
- No comments
- Comment on process of authentication; how it should be managed in the future—authentication presentation for end users is important—difficult to chose among techie-kind of options for many users, should be more user friendly, non-tech
