Samvera Connect: Any interesting presentations/lightning talks we should check out?
All
The program committee is meeting this week to discuss the suggested topics and schedule them. Topics of interest to the UX group include: Accessibility & Samvera, IIIF A/V Client Side JavaScript, Distributed Usability Research Team Retrospective (& Planning), Institution-specific Front-end Implementations of Hyrax, Samvera/Blacklight UX Benchmarks.
There is a testing instance of vanilla Hyrax (2.0.0beta) at demo.curationexperts.com. It is hosted by Digital Curation Experts and maintained by community developers.
A new slack channel to discuss this instance was created and is available at #nurax
Volunteers to perform testing and documentation must be given administrative rights to the site.
To-do: create a list of rules for admin users of the site (e.g. do not edit or delete other users' works or collections, etc.)

Follow up on DURT discussion with Repo Managers & test instance manager.
We will do our best to test accessibility while we test usability of release candidates.
It is recommended we identify accessibility experts in the community and enlist their help.
There is a list of Samvera/Hyrax issues on Accessibility
To-do: compile a list of tools and resources to aid in accessibility testing (see: slack discussions in the #uxinterestgroup channel, Section 508, etc.)
There is a subgroup that will be working on NURAX to test and document the manager guide and the user interface testing sections of samvera.github.io (deadline for this group is Friday, 9/21)
Adam suggested front-end developers convene to think about useful style guides for Hyrax. For example, it can be a difficult on-ramp for UI developers learning about Hyrax / Blacklight / and local style guidelines. Would this be useful for Samvera?
