Agenda:

  • feedback on accessibility
  • feedback on buttons vs. links in action area
  • some user evaluation with an HTML mockup (Harriet)
  • implement at some point soon

Minutes:

  • accessibility - we were going to run some ideas past Mike.
  • in addition to Mike, we should also talk to people in Toronto.
  • Jim will contact Mike
  • Harriet has been sick, and Jim has been on vacation, so we don't have mockups done yet today
  • maybe our first mockup should use the Yahoo library and see how that works
    • ACTION ITEM: check out accessibility and licensing of Yahoo libraries
    • it looks simple. It has its own CSS, which we may need to be careful about, and talk to Gonzalo
  • Feedback on buttons vs. links - did anyone take this to the UI-DG?
    • we wanted to do a quick user evaluation first, and that's what the mockup was for
    • ACTION ITEMS:
      • Create HTML mockup using YUI buttons (Harriet)
      • Show to some users (Harriet, Kathy if poss)
      • Discuss on UI-DG (Harriet & Kathy et al)
  • Goal-aware/tagging:
    • Mara had suggested that we be thinking about incorporating Goal Aware into Resoruces, or something of the sort
    • Harriet: "I went back to Goal Aware and looked at it in a lot of detail ... worked through it as three different people working on thier goals
      ... and I can see that the purpose is still pretty much what it was when I talked to Sean last term ... so linking it into Resouces makes very little sense, I'd say"
    • tagging an interesting option
    • Mara says "images" is already using it
    • also seeing who's read what - Melete
    • site stats allows you to see who's read what, using the events table, but these are 2.5 issues.
  • Meetings:
    • we should have another meeting this Friday to go over what comes out of the mockups and follow-up discussions
    • Mike Ostermann would like to attend, and it would be better for him to push back the meeting time an hour
    • Should we invite other people to these meetings, or just make them open?
    • we should take care to surface these meetings and work as much as possible, and we can put out a call for other people who may be interested in being involved, but trying to set up a standing open meeting seems a step too far.
    • We'll meet on Friday at 11.
