• Next themed weekly call topic – May 8th: VIVO End User Documentation – for supporting end users who will be editing in VIVO, whether individually or as proxy editors for a whole department (requested by University of Florida) -- can we make templated documentation where individual sites can put in tips or extra information? Rumor has it there’s a good document underway -- can this be shared on GitHub using GitHub pages? (Alex: GitHub being used by non-coders for local political campaigns and other collaborative writing projects)
