• (fixed) The website home page name is still set to "The Imager Lab for Graphics... and HCI" rather than "..and Human Centered Technologies".

• The website home page name is still set to "The Imager Lab for Graphics... and HCI" rather than "..and Human Centered Technologies".

• On home page and faculty name list page, make links from professor pic/name go directly to their own page, not to intermediate graphics/hci/vis pages.
• Minor bug on home page with visible links only for Michiel/Alla, not rest of us.

• (fixed) Style issue - please make links be visible without the need for mouseover (ideally through underlining as is standard). now it's got poor usability because it's very hard to see what's a link and what's not - way too subtle about lighter grey links vs darker grey text, couldn't figure it out at all on a links-only page like faculty name list. also can't tell difference between links and headers on the finding us page. [Nov 15 - looks great now! Tamara]

• (could not replicate, but assuming the banner fix, fixed this as well). left menu: the shaded highlight for the top-level items has a downward offset from where actually clicking or hovering

• (fixed) archival link: the "old" imager site needs to be maintained with a forward to the new site. [concern of Kellys' from 13 nov]

• Upper right image credit fixing (as below) should be done ASAP, makes us look really bad to publicly have joint work with students attributed only to professor. If it's not easy to fix that quickly, then I'd vote for just taking out the images for now and just having news in that column.

• Banner: reasearch area items font (graphics, vis etc) are too big and bottom edge is obscured. Fix by making the areas smaller, not by making the banner bigger.
• left menu: the shaded highlight for the top-level items has a downward offset from where actually clicking or hovering
• clicking on a faculty's image on the "home" page does NOT take you to the location on the page where that person's blurb appears (only notice this for graphics fac near bottom of list, e.g. Michiel)

• archival link: the "old" imager site needs to be maintained with a forward to the new site. [concern of Kellys' from 13 nov]
• Meetings: the current content is so old that it should be removed - it looks bad. Please take this offline until we can get Juliet's attention on it.
• Images of Imager: Ben Ceccheto has made available new images. These need to be incorporated
• students: the list is still at least 15 months out of date. What is status on getting updated list here?
• publications and theses: these are still unpopulated. We need to deal with this.

-- Earlier

• (fixed)The banner has a spelling mistake! "Technolgies" Also seems to be a few pixels too narrow to match the lower part of the page.

• (fixed)Sort for faculty on people page does not work properly. All the other sorts are working.

• (fixed)clicking in "Imager Laboratory" upper lefthand corner of banner takes you to cs main page

• (fixed)facilities page is really long, and will be even longer once the photos are in. I think it would be helpful to have links to each of the labspaces at the top of this page for those that want to jump to a particular lab (i.e., some sort of index)
• (fixed)about us page - the areas associated with each of the faculty members needs to be better spacially positioned. Right now the areas for the faculty in the top row are closer to those images of faculty in the second row (e.g., Dinesh looks like he is "user interface". Also, should the "user interface" onces change to HCT or actually try to spell out "human centered technolgoies".

• (fixed)postdoc link under people goes to empty list with apparent error message. It appears that a null list is considered an error -- it should instead say "there are currently no postdocs"
• (fixed)list of students does not sort by supervisor (something weird happens)

• (fixed)on home page, fixed it so all names are on two lines, it was an inconsistent mix before. but i argue area should be right below name, instead of having one line of whitespace - that makes the label appear to belong to the image below, not the image above as it should. that's a php not a text editing change, so leaving it for andre. Robert suggests making the images a little bit smaller to make five of them fit on a single line; currently at 106x106 pixels, should work at about 85x85.

[DONE] Banner

• facilities page is really long, and will be even longer once the photos are in. I think it would be helpful to have links to each of the labspaces at the top of this page for those that want to jump to a particular lab (i.e., some sort of index)

[DONE] style and layout

• The banner has a spelling mistake! "Technolgies" Also seems to be a few pixels too narrow to match the lower part of the page.

• clicking in "Imager Laboratory" upper lefthand corner of banner takes you to cs main page
• seems that clicking on the parent node in the nav hierarchy should take you to a page: About Us, People, Research, Publications; right now it opens up the hierarchy if it isn't open already, but does nothing else
• facilities page is really long, and will be even longer once the photos are in. I think it would be helpful to have links to each of the labspaces at the top of this page for those that want to jump to a particular lab

[SEMI DONE] Meetings: waiting on Juliet

• Juliet had updated the content on the old site. I ported it over. I have left the notes on the page of what Karon wanted because I am not sure things align properly.

• remove leading bullet (done)

• on home page, fixed it so all names are on two lines, it was an inconsistent mix before. but i argue area should be right below name, instead of having one line of whitespace - that makes the label appear to belong to the image below, not the image above as it should. that's a php not a text editing change, so leaving it for andre.

Imager Web: Status & To-Do (2008-09)

ANDRE, PLEASE COMMENT BELOW WHEN TASKS ARE DONE: replace [NOT DONE] with [DONE mm/dd]

• Web redesigner Contact: André Malan- 778 558 4516 andre.malan@ubc.ca
• GOAL: release by mid-August
• Current stable prototype version (php): http://imager.andremalan.org/imager.php

ACTION ITEMS FOR ANDRE

[NOT DONE] Porting contact list to Imager twiki

• ascertain whether full contact list for students go on twiki? If twiki is written in php, should be simple.
  • --> inform KM. If can, give assessment if whether this is so simple Andre can do it quickly; if not really simple, then we need to hand it off to someone else.

[NOT DONE] Document:

• transfer "process" notes onto twiki, start organizing (probably best to organize by WHO does the task, with possible prominent subcategores being the topic, like News, Student Records, etc); and Frequency (like, once/year, once/month, etc).
• Items to include:
  • • Process for moving students to alumni (Juliet; but, is add'l contact info supplied by prof?)
    • See also references below, e.g. Under News.
    • Important NOW: instructions on how to modify text content that pertains to yourself, e.g. faculty bio info.

[NOT DONE] Postdocs need own list

• same style as grad students? (is problem that don't have right data?)

[NOT DONE??] Upper right image:

• • Right now, the tag is automatically constructed from the location of the image, i.e. Stored in the heidrich folder. (done by McLachlan, we beliieve).
  • Suggest: flat organization (not by professor)
  • New plan: files named in convention heidrich_15; associated with tag (title and full author list), and link to paper (eventually; for now, to pubs page?)

[NOT DONE] News:

• Right sidebar (news) needs to be automatically connected to center News section
  • Put past years into "year" folders. Annual task, mid-year is to dump previous calendar year into a year file and link it in, following current example (which Andre will implement)

• • is it possible to have right sidebar, individual items, cut off after X characters (several lines) then end in "more" with a link to the full item in News section? So more items can fit on a page.

[NOT DONE] Images of Imager:

• good photos, some professionally acquired, laid out carefully one time. This is not an automatically updated repository.
  • rename the section to "images of imager"
  • make "large thumbnails" (w/ varying aspect ratios) smaller than now, e.g. ~3/row.
  • [For now, use current images, and plan to augment or swap when get better ones.]

[NOT DONE] Banner

• • If possible, in redesign make it thinner.
  • KM 8/08: the "CS|Computer Science" is graphically quite awkward. How about making "imager lab" a little smaller; putting "CS}Computer Science" to right side of banner; moving banner more central; vertically aligning all 3 elements, and downsizing til it fits.
  • KM 8/08: HCI -> HCI/Haptics (if it fits? I know I said not to earlier, but could we try?)

[NOT DONE] *faculty / Research page:

• • Move "associates" to bottom of each category (e.g. Fels to bottom of Graphics)
  • otherwise, put in alphabetic order (here and on research page)
  • Murphy is an Associate
  • Meitner/sheppard might need to switch groups (KM will check w/ Munzner)
  • Create and/or correctly populate the three research pages (graphics etc). [waiting for faculty to supply mat'l]

[NOT DONE] *Courses

• • See "Courses" section under Faculty to-do list for overview
  • structure page into 3 areas (linked from top), and populate with the existing courses.
  • remove the descriptions (or just keep the first couple of sentences; but compact everything so courses for a given area roughly fit above the crease. E.g the web link can be incorporated into the title listing; drop prerequisites.
  • link to course schedule pages (ugrad, grad) at top with note: "For current schedule information, see [undergrad] [grad] "
  • remove other notes at top of page *
  • Otherwise awaiting content from faculty

[NOT DONE] Joining Imager

• Awaiting faculty content

[NOT DONE] Publications:

• • drop old publications page content into current one
  • same for theses
  • Malan to coordinate with Brad Swerdfeger on this
  • [we will maintain status quo on pubs database til dept change online (early 2010??)

• [DONE] find what current status on pubs database is from Wolfgang and Moyra
  • --> status quo for at least another year

• [NOT DONE] photos: have professional photographer come through in early Sept, when there is lots of activity?
  • Tried to delegate to van de panne / McGrenere, didn't seem to take. Try again?

• [DONE] Courses: take a look and decide what needs to happen here (farming out, reorg) needs to be looked at and improved
  • see notes in COURSES section below

ACTION ITEMS FOR JULIET:

• [NOT DONE] Alumni: start an alumni database which is same format as students database.

• [NOT DONE] People data file (students, postdocs):
  • make sure it's updated.
  • postdocs are currently not listed in the same way; have different fields. JOK needs to fix this.

  • plan: will be tricky to find words which meaningful enough to be worth the space; if can't, drop this.
  • ALLA will take a first pass on a graphics overview, and run by other graphics fac, CC'ing KARON. If successful, we'll try to follow this model for HCI and VIZ (will request lead by JOANNA, TAMARA at that point)

• • examples (shorter and longer respectively than our target): http://hci.usask.ca/ and http://web.cs.toronto.edu/research/groups/hci.htm

COURSES SECTION

• The plan: turn our courses into a shorter list, sorted into the three areas but grad/ugrad continuous, with course number, title and a couple of sentences.
• additionally, within each area section follow our courses with "external courses", which include dept, name/number and remarks like "most HCI graduate students are expected to take this one"

• [NOT DONE] courses: EVERYONE
  • Supply 1-2 sentences for the course that you nominally "own".
  • E.g. TAMARA/ROBERT -> 314; KARON -> 344, 543; JOANNA -> 444, 544; TAMARA 533C, ETC
  • EVERYONE: review external list and contribute remarks like "most HCI students are expected to take this one."

• • Ugrad, grad, external; we will use a flat list in numerical order since short.

JOINING IMAGER SECTION

• [NOT DONE] Joining Imager - TAMARA
  • TAMARA will take first pass, or farm out to someone else
  • ALLA has "information for rospective graduate students" on her website which could be used as reference.
