    4 December 2014

    This month the call will focus on Spotlight, the Blacklight plug-in enabling the presentation of online exhibitions.

    Discussion will center around the following areas, though there will also hopefully be space to raise other questions as well within these:

    • Current Spotlight functionality
    • Current goals for Spotlight development
    • Adopting Spotlight - what barriers exist that the team can look to address?
    • Additional features - what could Spotlight usefully do in the future?
    • Developing Spotlight - how the community can assist in achieving the goals discussed
    Recording, Hydra UX call - 4 Dec 2014Send Spotlight suggestions and questions to

    exhibits-feedback@lists.stanford.edu.
