1) Create a social network searchable by area of interest or expertise (CHRISTINA, ELIN)
Update on tool evaluation - Google Friend Connect, Joomla's Jomsocial
-Google Friend Connect
>fairly light-wght tool, more development to come, but don’t have a robust, customizable member profile, therefore it is not really an option for us
-Reviewed Jomsocial, a Joomla based program, the same platform as the dspace.org website (easy to integrate w/site)
>seems robust, customizable, fairly searchable
>going to continue to explore possibilities, building a test version with a realistic member/user profile
>current questions outstanding:
-are individual user searches (not just administrator established searches) possible?
-will members have the ability to view other members connections/friends?
-Proposed timeline
Feb 20: User profile written
Feb 27: Project team review of test site
March 6: DGOC review of test site
April 1: Launch
-Need to start thinking about how/when to launch (communications, etc) as well as some incentives for people to join (w/maybe some encouragement to add things like their area of expertise or area of interest); be good if we can have it out in advance of OR2009 (way to not confuse people with both Jomsocial & Crowdvine?)
2) Dynamic Database of DSpace Instances (VAL, LEONIE, MICHAEL, JIM)
Draft of community survey
-1st draft of survey complete, working on on refinements
-2 forks (rm vs. tech?), one responder per institutions? webpage that gets sent around? contact info for technical contact?
-Proposed timeline
Feb 23: Finalize questions
Feb 25: DGOC review/feedback begins
Mar 4: DGOC review/feedback ends
Mar 9: Finalize survey question mechanics (do we provide right options for each question, which questions require an answer, etc.)
Mar 11: Final Review
Mar 12: Survey opens
