Minutes from Nov. 9 meeting

• HCIUBCspec081105.doc

Inclusiveness

• Who is in the community?
• Core vs. peripheral groups
• Core: probably 10-15 faculty members

Objective

• Site was originally envisioned as promotional tool, branding, interdisciplinary collaboration
• Agreed on this as the primary objective, with internal awareness as a desirable by-product
• Agreed that site will be updated by 1-2 interested students, who will also solicit content from core group on a regular basis

Motivations for maintaining site

• Faculty don't have the cycles
• Assigned lab duty for students doesn't work
• Must be motivated by student interest, desire to promote own work

For next meeting

• Karen to create accounts for student team
• Team members to put up sample news items, port basic static information from old site
• Send out prototype, proposed sitemap several days in advance for faculty feedback
