                  Look over the website and make suggestions about what needs to be made clearer and what needs to updated.  MI done see 3/9 email from Sonya Sonya's impressions of Plinkit.org

      Look at your state sites and see if there is anything there that might be helpful at the collaborative site and send a list of those topics to Shaffner.  OR & CO done (they have nothing).

    Compile a list of helpful topics from the above item and send it to the list serv asking if they agree that all these things should be added to the collaborative site (as long as one person would like it at Plinkit.org, then it should be posted there).

                     Review SOW for Skins document on Google Docs (see 9/11 email from Shaffner for link etc.) and send comments to the entire listserv on what you’d like to change or add. 12/11 Brown waiting for Hanning’s input which hopefully we’ll have by our February meeting.

                     Template link check – 2/11 Hanning sent the template to Enfold who will add it when they do the master template bug fix.  Hanning will let Shaffner know when this is done so Shaffner can send a link to it to the listserv for PCs to send to users. 

           On 2/19 Shaffner sent Toni the contract to complete User Manual for $9500 signed by BCR and is waiting for the copy she mailed back 3/5.  Everyone will send a single reviewed document with all requested changes to Toni for revisions during each phase.  Kreger will be point person and will let Shaffner know when it’s OK to pay Toni (w/ Duncan approval).

                      Hanning will start writing the Administrator’s manual before 2/1 and Norris will review it.   

            When done with your marketing plan, please share it with the Collaborative.  Since INCOLSA leaving, we’ll remove this item. - DONE

    Develop something that compares/contrasts (technically) Plone to Drupal and one or two other ‘leading’ content management systems and send to both listservs and post at website. 10/9 Tom sent stuff to list.  10/19 Bev sent info to list.  DH to provide historical context.

              Marketing materials at http://www.plinkit.org/resources/for-project-coordinators/marketing-materials Obert will have someone update IL’s brochure w/ the new logo and post it and she’ll review what’s here and let us know whether she sees anything else to add.

                 Let Hanning know if you can help Norris review the Administrator’s Manual.

         Send Brown the documentation that will help him with Administrator training.

                        Enfold support contract expires 3/30/10 – let Shaffner know if she should ask Steering to approve 6 hours of support every month for six months and if so Shaffner should see if we want to renew this at the 8/10 meeting.  3/11 Hanning hopes we can get this set up in April.

           Write “how-to” section for the manual on deactivating the Plinkit theme and activating the desired theme and send it to the listserv. 

         Re User Survey 3/12 meeting discussion – note for when we are completely finished with Plinkit 2.0 work, to work on these (numbered by priority)  –

1-3 More fonts (inc. sizes) and colors (inc. text color) for each color scheme (and teach re site appearance/consistency, accessibility and current formatting options)

1-3 Adding files in batches (make Flash uploader add on product a core part of Plinkit?)

1-3 Spell check (if Firefox isn’t a possibility for a significant number of libraries)

4 Blog entries (not highly desired now, but later, larger libraries may want – teach re monitoring comments, need policies)

5-7 Registering patrons for events (www.engagedpatrons.org?) (includes ability to see lists of attendees and send email reminders – though Hanning’s not sure we want to go this far)

5-7 Adding images to the community page (we’d need Enfold to add field)

5-7 Embedding videos

          Re User Survey – as we add libraries priorities may change, so note to get Advisory Group input on this every October so Project Coordinators can survey their users again each February.
