2023-07-26 Outreach & Engagement notes

Website content revamp

• Top-level menu review: how should we reorganize and rename these in light of our framing of Samvera is the community, the solutions are the software?

  • The Community, Repository Solutions, Get Started, News & Events

• Where to place new pages yet to written:

  • Hyrax vs Hyku

  • What would be needed to help with an open-friendly RFP process? An RFP page to help with this once the recommendations come out

• What would we like to see on a redesigned homepage? https://tailwindui.com/components/marketing/page-examples/landing-pages

  • Good content elements on existing page

  • Existing topmost section is too large - maybe half sized?

  • New motto

  • https://palni.org/ PALNI has these top level space with the stats linking to more information. What are the things people will want to know about for Samvera? Community, repository solutions numbers

  • link partners list to more information

  • logos for the individual solutions, linking to more information

  • Small comparison of the repository software, linking to something more in-depth

  • Heather will make a wireframe of a slightly redesigned homepage for the next meeting

Reorganizing (and renaming?) this page: https://samvera.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/samvera/pages/422319621

• Heather is going to clean up this page via institutional outreach. What would be most useful to list here, that won’t go out of date too quickly? Have had a request for links to Github repos to view code. Also would be useful to know if they migrated from another repo. Want this to basically not need updated except to add new institutions!

Scheduling press releases for:

• strength of Samvera/Connect/anniversary of community?

• Be ready for Valkyrie release or release candidate
