Hydra works

• user interface, submitting content, complex, smooth the flow, transparent as possible, different driver other than PCDM tech exposed in the interface

• look at information architecture, experience at a higher level, option get hidden, different user personas, librarians, general, student user, separate cataloging, 

• developing personas, faculty, grad students, experience complex, full set of metadata

• point-of-view of a new user, what are the key fields, showing more when needed, customs user settings for level of information

• ability to hide the metadata fields that aren’t required, reworking required fields, the ability to use template based on resource type or role

• handling feature requests, different templates for show and admin, DOI, more than just the UI part

• enhancements for users, what about a super user?, greater ability for admins for when students or others get stuck, a lot more reporting for the admin side

• digging into wireframes and using personas as a lens, thinking about create, view, and manage, better workflow

• we should start with certain actions i terms of analyzing the wireframes

• sharing research with the team in terms of what has been done with other IRs using Sufia

• browsing collections and browsing collections for general users

• customization and the ability to turn off/on things like collections

• point-of-view varies by institutions

• the ability to upload mass amounts of things and add metadata later

• what about the power user in the process

• we should concentrate on fewer screens for the user, the ability to resume metadata

• some use cases involve the graduation process with works and ETds

• We should look at different  flows for different work types

• the process should be iterative and looking at curation and work types and users and the timing of the project

• things to consider outside of the current process is mediated deposit, batch ingest, batch ingest with deposit,
