Discussion

How should this subteam accomplish our work? Should we meet monthly? Every two weeks? Divide into small groups around various topics/tickets and present wireframes and recommendations at each meeting?

We decided to split into two sub-sub teams: Public Interface and Staff Interface. The goal is to hold a full meeting once a month and the subteams organize their own mid-meeting in between.

PUI team: Althea, Lydia, Brittany, Adrienne

SUI: Julia, Lori, Terra, Kate

Sample Topics

  1. PUI Design for the “F” https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-769

  2. How to visually distinguish unpublished records? Do we need to? If so, how?https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-214

  3. Digital objects: https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-907 andhttps://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-810

  4. Top Container navigation: https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-785

1.Perhaps park this ticket for now, since we may be addressing a lot of PUI tickets in the future. Otherwise, it seems pretty ok.

2. Perhaps have a sign to the left of the archival object in the tree, such as a circle with a line through it, to visually indicate that it is unpublished.

3. 1st ticket: there’s currently a way to insert code to embed a thumbnail, perhaps we could find a way to make that more user friendly and built into the system? 2nd ticket: this sounds like they want a parking spot for digital objects on the resource view. Since this is so repository-specific, should that ticket be closed?

4. Something to look into, but it sounds like it would be a useful feature. A question was raised about how to efficiently scale up Top Containers for extremely large and homogeneous collections. If you would prefer to do a box range (1-50, for example) how would that actually work with the Top Container model?

Action items

Lydia will create a Google drive
Lydia will finalize the rosters
Lydia will create a list of PUI and SUI tickets
PUI and SUI teams should set up a meeting for around 2 weeks from now.
Sub-sub-teams should plan on picking at least 4 tickets at a time to work on, create wireframes, and present on for the next group meeting.
