Wireframes Middle Ground

  • Proposed taking the Wordpress-inspired toolbar by David and adding it to the current wireframes by Lynette
  • modifying how you navigate but not the underlying structure too greatly
  • building a superstructure
  • might need to address those who have a institutionally required toolbar already at the top
  • keep it simple
  • modeling a different view
  • remove some of the UI clutter like tabs
  • can use CSS to keep the toolbar fixed as you scroll
  • reminder about the importance of facets and the functionality of the toolbar
  • toolbar has smaller footprint
  • keep functionality in the toolbar to 4 main options
  • navigation change is needed
  • perhaps add one more menu item
    • super admin
      • stats
      • queues
      • advanced debugging
  • others have work to share with the community and contribute back to Sufia once the kinks are worked out
  • group thinks that this is a good middle step for 7.0.0
  • doesn't solve workflow issues but the full wireframes by David are a bit out-of-scope for 7.0.0
  • some questions around the "Add New Work" wireframe. needs adjustment and feedback from others
  • different metadata fields for a particular resource type rather than one big form will need to wait for next round
    • easy thing for single work but not for multiple works
  • next steps
    • comment on David's wireframes to point out what other elements other than the toolbar should come over to 7.0.0
    • Lynette adding the toolbar to her wireframes
