DRS Project Toolkit Spec

Meeting Minutes

""July 1,2015"" June 19, 2015

  • Attendees: Amanda, Sarah, Eli, Jim
  • We decided to meet weekly to discuss necessary revisions to the spec draft and to help answer questions and brainstorm the development of the DRS Project Toolkit pages for projects.
  • We agreed that Minamaze was an ideal WordPress theme for the pilot phase.
  • We discussed the desire / need users will have to be able to search both items and content elsewhere on a project site (exhibit pages, "About" pages, etc.). We are still discussing the best interface / solution to this issue: a search box that can search everything on the site? A search of DRS items and an "expanded" search that searches pages?
  • We also discussed the need to do user testing on the search functionality, and whether it makes sense to do "A/B" testing of two kinds of searches.
  • Item views: if not an item from the DRS, WP will create attachment page and item view will be that WP-native page. IF item from DRS, code will override WP route to attachment page and show dynamically retrieved DRS item.
  • Option: make uploaded file PID editable so that even images uploaded by hand can automatically link to DRS.
  • Who will do the work of creating Arader and Sadow websites? Also need to test the “make an exhibit” scenario.
