Agenda & Notes, Dec. 6, 2006

1. The usual naggy stuff:

  • Report on Registry Blog, which is still down (Stuart)
    • Note that Jon actually put his stuff on his own blog
    • We need some better reports on "upness" (Jon)
  • Report on Mirror and intermediary issues (Stuart & Jon)
    • Last week: Stuart reported that there was one little problem yet, weather problems had prevented getting things finished.

Stuart discussed the server problems at UW and how we might address them. It may be that the blog and main site will be moved to the Metadataregistry.org site.

  • Updates on discussions for new NSDL proposals (Stuart & Diane)
    • Diane reports that the action item from last week, modifying the first paragraph of the "two pager," was completed and sent to Stuart on Friday.
  • Note that the front page of the Registry now includes the new "Step-by-Step Instructions" and a link to the DC2006 paper (thanks to Jon)
