Notes

Interviews

  • Jim talked with Ted Lawless
  • Mike spoke with Chris Barnes, who had 3 assets
    • the Youtube videos from Apps and Tools
    • Violeta's
    • the mailing list archives
  • Jon spoke with Miles about his Drupal work
    • an asset on GitHub
    • Paul – is a Weill Cornell organization on GitHub
  • Mike – a larger issue around Apps and Tools – we have a catalog on the Apps & Tools wiki page and those point out to other assets in the community that are not really project assets
    • That's why we have an apps and tools task force
      • architectural issues
      • support issues – e.g., the ORCID API interface that Justin made – could imagine that being just a link in a VIVO template that could link out to a web page that is authorized to talk back to VIVO and put triples in our triplestore
        • is Florida hosting a copy of that thing?
        • a similar issue with Stony Brook's UMLS service – had gone offline
          • a responsibility model – you get nothing, not just a 404
    • One line in our spreadsheet about these apps & tools
  • Other people that we can or should talk to?
    • Elly – Jon can try to recover the user scenario work from spring, 2010

Are we ready to share this spreadsheet with the community, following an orientation email to go with it?

  • We should first flesh out missing cells – anything that is blank is not helpful
    • Hide the recommendations column and the suggested worksheet
  • Want two conversations – first about what we have and what's missing; then a separate conversation about what we do with these
    • We want to get feedback on our assets, then have this group compile 2-3 pages of recommendations in sentence form about email lists, repositories, etc.
    • In preparation for task forces to then be set up to make changes based on the recommendations
    • Could share the PDF to discuss on the Thursday call in a week or two
    • When to stop editing? 4:30 PM Friday, May 8
    • Lauren is willing to make a second, read-only copy and will send a read-only link to a pared-down copy (one sheet, no recommendations) and share the link with the members of this task force
    • Mike can send out the link in his updates email on Monday
  • Also not wild to ask hundreds of people for suggested assets – don't open Pandora's box just yet

Action items

Members of the task force should help fill in empty cells on the asset spreadsheet (and add any further missing assets) by 4:30 Friday, May 8

Lauren will create a copy of the spreadsheet with a read-only link for Mike to send out Monday to as part of his weekly update email
