...

  • two kinds of incompleteness – partially filled out rows and missing rows
  • how far out should we go – are VIVO search and VIVO searchlight enough under our jurisdiction?
    • put them on the suggested access list – they should be part of the community but are still only one-person projects
    • this is an issue for the contributed initiatives task force will have to deal with – things you don't just want to be loose in the wild
  • Lauren – makes sense – a lot going on and hard for a newcomer to know what's there
    • everything she could find by Googling she is seeing here
  • Mike – put a few things that aren't electronic but that VIVO owns and operates in some way
    • VIVO conference booth to provide a backdrop – old and tattered – old language and logos
  • How granular? generally not down to individual pages
    • presentations?
    • videos?
  • Jon - added some things to indicate past uses
    • Some are big – vivo.vivoweb.org
    • Mike – a registry of sites is different from a registry of members

...

  • what they have
  • why they have it
  • whether and how we could use it
  • added them with her name as steward

An idea – interviewing others, as did with Carol

  • E.g. – and include whether with this project or not
    • Kristi Holmes – Lauren will
    • Chris Barnes – Mike will contact
    • Ted Lawless – Jim will contact
    • Stephen Williams – Alex will contact
    • Ellie Cramer – Jon/Jim will contact
    • Medha Devare – Jon will contact
    • Miles Worthington – still working for Memorial University in Newfoundland and worked for Paul at Weill; Jon will contact
  • Another step in discovery
    • Institutional knowledge we need to get to
  • Lauren – could send an email to all the stewards listed and ask them to comment?
    • Mike – once we have a list where we have stewards identified
  • Finishing step - ask the community
    • where are the logos
    • what about videos

Do we want to collect materials that are not online or scattered? Where should they live?

  • Some historical things would be important to keep but to segregate from materials we want current adopters to find
    • Would be helpful for the Tech Lead to have early road maps, user scenarios
  • Added an archive to the suggested assets page

Okay to share the link?

  • Set it to comment for the interviewees

Stewards – what do we mean

  • Not  precisely who it belongs to
  • The maintainer?
  • Some things are clearly community

Triage – move into recommendations? what is the process of recommendation

  • +1 or -1
  • Paul – rather than be so burdened by what already exists, come up with a blueprint of what we want and come back to look
  • Paul – wiki, forum for discussion, calendar
  • Mike – web presence for marketing, repo, issue tracker
  • Listservs is ripest for improvement – 18
    • Aim for 3 outside of governance
    • Technical, community, and all - not work group listservs
      • see the activity and not losing things by siloing the traffic
    • Should we move to a forum (software called Discourse) to have more curated archives?
      • Subversion is cumbersome – can't add in bulk
      • other groups use email on Google groups – then let Google find them
        • Google groups for business – might be worth checking out
        • DuraSpace's other projects run on Google Groups
        • Can add non-members to Google Groups and can assign permissions to Google Docs and folders
        • DuraSpace has an active and large CRM database with 10,000 contacts with multiple tags, several thousand of whom are VIVO contacts
          • we need to capitalize on that, wherever it is in transition from Constant Contact to Zoho
          • we need write access as long as we don't mess up their system – we can improve their data about VIVO prospects
          • more and more touchpoints between projects – when do we think about that
          • DSpace has 1700 sites
        • We'd have to script Google Groups and the CRM together as step one – have to verify that's possible
      • StackOverflow is nice and available – very open assets
        • can you follow? can you notify?
        • Jim – the purpose of StackOverflow is to bubble the best answer to the top, while a discussion wants to have answers in sequence

Next time

  • Mike is not available next week
  • Week of the 27th? – tentative for Wednesday April 29th at 3 ET
  • interview assignments
  • supplement the content
  • think about what a recommendation process might look like – think from what we actually need and what it would look like if we do a good job
