TSWeb Team Minutes, Oct. 12, 2004
TS Web Maintenance Team
Minutes, October 12, 2004, meeting
Attending: Jim Alberts, Michal Jacyna, Margaret Nichols, Nate Rupp (chair)
· We discussed ways in which we could gather additional items for What's New.
Margaret said she would solicit items from TSEG and the rest of us agreed to
mention What's New to our respective TS departments.
· We talked about the archives for the What's New and Presentations pages. We
agreed to keep the most recent two months' worth of items up on the What's New
page and put older items in a What's New archive. We also agreed to keep the
most recent year's worth of presentations up on the Presentations page and put
older presentations in a Presentations archive.
· Nate said he would remind David Banush to share any items he received for the
TS Newsletter's ("Backstory") column on presentations with the TS Web team so
it could include them on the TS Web Presentations page. [I left a message on
Friday, 10/29.]
· Nate agreed to talk to Zoe Stewart-Marshall about what a subsite in TS Web for
the Working Group on Cataloging (WGC) would look like. [I haven't done this
yet, but will run it by her before our meeting next week.]
· Jim and Michal demonstrated their revisions to "About Us." It looked fine except
that we asked Michal to move a link to the M-Team web site to the bottom of the
page, which he subsequently took care of. We also agreed not to password any
part of the M-Team web site.
Search engine redesign. Michal and I will meet with Paul Houle Monday,
November 1, to discuss what we need to do to incorporate the Nutch search engine into
the TS Web site.
We began discussing where to put a "coming events" banner like the one
Mann has on its web site at times. Such a banner would link to special
events in TS, like guest visitors or speakers, etc., but not everything
that we would usually put in What's New. It would be placed near the top of the white
space on the TS Web home page or under the What's New list. We [Michal?] agreed to
write up a proposal for Karen about this idea.
