Meeting Notes for Website / Interface Design Meeting As always ... the meeting was logged at koha.org/irc Present: kados rach owen slef richard russ indradg shawn hdl (big meeting!!) 1. Koha.org Website We discussed Russ's report: http://www.russandsarah.gen.nz/kohawebredev/ a. folks need to look at the wireframes and give feedback to russ b. some feedback was given about objective and scope: opencms was introduced as a product: opencms.org some question was raised as to whether opencms or mambo would be a better choice mambo supports multiple languages and we're not sure if opencms does the koha team will be 'koha project managers' with bios, emails at koha.org, and maybe even images to lend credibility to the project librarians were defined as users a media link will be added under 'news' c. we want to support multiple languages eventually -- at first we'll do the site in english d. koha-fr.org will have to decide what to do if there are two french koha sites e. shaun will make the site WCAG compliant http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG f. the site will be mirrored by katipo and maybe by koha-fr and liblime too 2. Interface Design: a. we will design a set of 'programmer templates' -- minimalist templates with only the functions of that template displayed to ease template maintenance for our interface designers b. we will design a set of 'default templates' and the lead interface designer will be responsible for taking changes from the programmer templates and integrating those into the default templates c. we will establish a set of guidelines for committing new features to CVS that will ensure that programmers commit only to programmer templates and not to default templates -- so that the ID can ensure QA on those templates d. this does not mean that internal design groups can't maintain their own set of templates -- it simply means that when they commit the features to CVS they will commit a minimalist version of the feature to the programmer templates (and hopefully a good description of the feature) and leave the presentation up to the ID. e. the success of this method will depend on all the programmers playing nicely and committing their additions to the minimalist templates in addition to their own project templates -- Joshua Ferraro VENDOR SERVICES FOR OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE President, Technology migration, training, maintenance, support LibLime Koha ILS, Mambo Intranet, DiscrimiNet Filter jmf@liblime.com | Full Demos at http://liblime.com | 1(888)KohaILS
