Usability

Lydia Tang

Usability subteam met twice as a whole group and also in our smaller staff interface and PUI sub-subteams. We’ve been looking at tickets with the Usability tag and have been working on creating mock ups and reading up on complex topics.

Currently, we’re looking at the following tickets and would appreciate your feedback:

1. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-950

2. We’re also interested in custom reports. If you have thoughts about this, please let us know!

Any TAC-reporting subteam updates?

Discussion

1. UAC big-picture questions

   1. Are there things that the UAC can/should do as a unit beyond the subteams?

   2. How can we best fulfill our mission? Should our mission be updated?

   3. Is there documentation or onboarding that you would like to have/wish to have had?

2. Question: should we experiment with meeting monthly starting from March -June? TAC meets monthly. Goals:

   • for members to feel more connected and involved as a Council.

   • to figure out how to be “communication conduit between the ArchivesSpace Governance Board and ArchivesSpace member users.”

   • to explore ways the Council as an entity can advise ArchivesSpace “on the design and delivery of services, such as community support services, technical support, documentation, training, migration, hosting, etc.” (quotes from mission)

3. Any other topics? [please feel free to edit this agenda with your topics!]
