This task force has completed its work. The new VIVO web site was launched on Thursday, November 19, 2015 |
http://vivoweb.org is the public-facing, Drupal-based, Duraspace hosted, web site for the VIVO project. It is currently (as of ) being remodeled and moved from Cornell hosting to Duraspace hosting.
The site serves as the primary URL for those new to VIVO. Other sites – GitHub for development and the wiki for community participation – provide platforms optimized for other activities. These sites will be reachable from the new site. The new site will be focused on adoption of VIVO – the value proposition and the tag line "Connect, Share, Discover."
Some history – the original site was developed in 2009 for the NIH grant. It was focused on grant work and the development of VIVO as a community. Over the course of its run as the VIVO web site, there was considerable discussions regarding the role of the site. In the end, various functions moved to platforms for conducive for their work. Community work has moved to the wiki. Development work is focused in Git Hub. Marketing to potential new sites will remain at the web site. The web site will contain links to these other VIVO resources. Lastly, over time, it should be note that the original site contained an increasing fraction of obsolete material and broken links. Valuable material is being preserved in the wiki as archives. Valuable functionality such as the blog and events lists are being migrated to the new site.
The work will be coordinated through the Duraspace "webpod" team. VIVO community members will write content and assist with graphics and video as needed.
