1) Quick review of project status:
-Community Survey - so far 102 completed, have until April 16
-Addons - narrowoing the list down to about 20 of the top ones, plan to have something by OR
-DSUG Mtg - finalizing presentation selection and developing schedule, should be done in the next 2 wks
2) Discusion/Demo of Community Builder
General Comments
-change "Connections" to "Network" with a sub-heading of "Conacts"
-eliminate link to the dspace.org "Forums", replace with link to Listserv (browsable w/in CB?)
-link to IRC developer chat
-need the ability to use with Friend Feed -- so activity can be monitored outside of CB
-do we need a Wall, MyBlog (aka Bulliten Board) and Private Messaging? Can we eliminate one?
-purpose of the MyBlog (aka Bulliten Board) - like the status update on Facebook - news/info about what you are doing/up to, helpful links or info?
-notifications on private msgs or wall writings -- are there any alerts? any way to know when someone writes you w/o going into the Wall or Inbox tab?
Profile Page
-make "Number of Connections" a hot link to contacts page
-eliminate "average profile rating", "member since" fields
-Forum tab - not interesting to have a forum link that just shows my postings (as it does currently), if we have the Forum tab, it should show the most recent activity
Profile Questions
-add "Repository URL (if public)" to the profile
-change "Topic of Expertise" to Area of Experience/Familarity"
-add "Area of Interest"
-seperate first name and last name fields
Search
-change search results to return: the match for the field that was searched, name, email, country, institution
Potential OR Community Builder Demo
-have OR DSUG mtg attendees login in during mtg, complete profile, get feedback
-have several users on-line remotely for the demo (Mike volunteered)
We need all DGOC members to help us refine the social networking tool -- find ways to minimize the barriers for people to join and identify critical feature enhancements to help encourage/compel to want to join.
