Re: RDA Web Focus Group - Doodle poll for first call

I would agree wtith Andrew's order, but would add one item from the "Low Hanging Fruit" category: Breadcrumbs. If priority item #2 is done effectively, it should help with the breadcrumbs feature. We use a SharePoint system at CANARIE (gulp...) and the lack of/inconsistent use of breadcrumbs is the number 1 issue I have with it. It adds double to triple the time to use that website. Much of the RDA breadcrumbs function seems to work, but again, for those times when it doesn't, if we bear that in mind when working on the top priorities it may be easier to resolve.

I'm also a little unclear what is meant by "Improving organic groups OR providing guidance on linking to external
content" as these 2 seem very different. Does someone remember the context?

Dear all,
Here is my preferred prioritisation:
I agree with Andrew on those as being the most important, and to be fixed
as "Priority 0":
• Fixing the mailing list issues
• Accessibility
For the other items, I also agree with Andrew, i.e.
1. Search functionality (as per the comments in the notes)
2. Structured system behind the Web site, including better metadata
3. Improving organic groups or providing guidance on linking to external
content
4. Better introductions for different users (chairs, regular members):
walkthroughs (videos), FAQ, glossary, etc.
5. Enriched user profiles offering notifications and customised
communication features
I'm also hoping that most, if not all, of the low-hanging fruit will be
included.
As for the "Improving organic groups OR providing guidance on linking to
external content" item, I went back to the recording, and that was a
comment that several groups don't use the RDA infrastructure, and some of
them don't even provide access to the group's working documents to the
members of the group, let alone make their documents public or accessible
via the RDA Web site. We could therefore spend a lot of time and effort to
improve the organic groups so that the groups potentially come back to the
RDA infrastructure - or we could instead give this a low priority, but
stress to these groups that they need to link to their content from the RDA
Web site, and make sure people can access their documents, so that their
work is open and transparent.
Best wishes,
Stefanie

Dear All
I agree with all the above, prioritizing mainly
1. fix mailing/ communication issues
2. RFCs in a prominent place
3. Search; especially search display improvement
others:
1. RSS feeds implementation [ low hanging]
2. repository implementation for documents, reports, outputs etc with
preferably essential but not-too-complicated metadata [maybe longer term]
3. I am afraid we presume certain knowledge of RDA jargons (and our
Abbreviations and Acronyms that we are so innovative with :-) ) of the
website users. Maybe most visitors are RDA members who know the jargon but
the terminology must be understood by general audience [AT pointed out
about plenaries - 'last', 'upcoming' etc?]

reaching users of rda-groups, I am just using 'reply All ' option here
