Agenda

  • New Carousel of Solutions

    • Hardcoded date in Samvera.org dashboard

    • Very easy to put into contentful

    •  

  • Review New Websites for Samvera Solutions

  • https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bvxLStnDtpRg2uKNPkK5CpIxjJcN5S4qvgZULjdKjbQ/edit#gid=0

    • Avalon:

      • Happy with the current sitemap

      • Wanted to do a refresh for a long time

      • Baked into Drupal structure

      • Works but isn’t fun to interact with

      • Would like to get off Drupal - they’re running a separate instance just for the site

      • Haven’t done any evaluation of new options

    • Thoughts:

      • “Blog” is outdated and no one is really using it that way; maybe “News” or “Press Releases”

      • Would rather use “Blog” real estate to point people to Slack, Community, GitHub, User Roundtable

    • Site options:

      • Current Samvera.org is in a Next.js site that serves a static version of the site

        • Required loading a bunch of markdown files

        • Contentful for Headless CMS

      • One idea (big picture) come up with a general template for the Solutions Apps - come up with a skeleton structure, that reuses the same Samvera pieces allowing code reuse

        • Could set things up in Contentful Headless CMS

      • Does Atlassian have an API to pull content from Confluence?

        • This means updating the Wiki updates the Website

        • We’d have to find a solution for that

    • Start with Site Architecture

      • Then figure out technical, tools, platform

      • Find some sites that we could use as a template

      • Sketch out wireframes

    • Avalon (Emily and Jon) would like to participate in

      •  

 

ETC:

  • Google searches for things in Samvera Wiki pull Emily into the Avalon site, not Confluence
