Copy of 2020-02-05 Documentation meeting agenda/notes

Note taker: Jasmine Jones (Unlicensed)

(Next note taker: Krista Oldham (Unlicensed))

Jessica at impromptu online Intro to ArchivesSpace training we’re holding on Monday and Tuesday during the time of the UAC meeting. Her update:

We’ve had a surge in users accessing the user manual in the past weeks as people move to a WFH environment and prioritize working in ArchivesSpace since it is one of the few archival tasks you can do from home.  We’ve received a few comments directly on the manual recently as more people are reading the pages but these comments have been catching typos and small fixes primarily (which is great).  I’ve been fixing those as they come in.  I’ve also edited content on the Creating Accessions page to reflect ArchivesSpace only requires an identifier to save an accession record, not identifier and date.  I also updated the page related to Creating Subjects records to include a key to the icons that correspond to different types of subjects.

• Update on action item from last meeting – will make revisions to outline and share with the group for another round of review 14 Feb 2020 

• Update on style guide

Still be looking for someone to eventually take lead of the team. Jasmine wants to be working with this person starting in the spring to ensure smooth transition.
