Agenda and Notes, April 5, 2006
1. UIUC contract
- Quick review of where we are, what still needs action on our part
- Anything new on the money?
2. Registry screenshots (Jon will distribute prior to the meeting)
3. New version document (Stuart has distributed)
- Question: What criteria should we use to determine how we will decide among options?
- Possible criteria: Whether software can make the distinction (given that reliance on humans, particularly untrained ones, is problematic)?
- Possible criteria: Whether the additional complexity enables a useful service to be created (if not, is purity or completeness sufficient reason)?
- Question: Is the ability for users to see previous versions (and perhaps view "diffs") a reasonable substitute for the complex typed tracking options, such as Melanie describes?
4. Registry demo at UB meeting
- What should it include?
- Is a live demo important?
- How important will it be to demonstrate versioning?
