Thanks for reviewing Joris, really useful.
A few comments:
* *Rights* - I agree that the star system doesn't work but it would be
nice to have a system in place that lets us showcase the most open
collections. I'm currently trying out the exhibit option so this
could be a way to highlight great work. Definitely something to be
discussed in the call!
* *Tags* - Currently these can be managed pretty easily within the
system (batch editing, searching etc.). I'm just looking into how we
manage these when people contribute items - there is a plugin for
this - may need some configuring. Probably the easiest way to go
forward would be to agree on a set of tags from the start. These can
be extended to but it would still useful to have a list up front.
Maybe something to brainstorm in the call?
I'd like to suggest we add the following to the list as they tie in
with the Europeana Space pilots: TV, Photography, Dance, Games,
HybridPublishing, Museums
Some brief guidelines might be useful too e.g. capitalised, content
that doesn't fit into another metadata box etc.
* *Accounts* - Still looking in to this - we seem to be able to get
people in but it's a bit messy. If people want to look at the back
end register (through the contribute page) and then email me.
I can't make the meeting on 4th so Lieke should be able to support any
discussions and pass feedback on. Agree that we need to get the basics
right first so will park the other ideas for later.
I'd like to share more widely soon but think I'd prefer to wait till we
have some styling in place then people will also be able to share their
thoughts on how it looks too. Hopefully not too long now!
Any other comments hugely appreciated.
