template to handle static content
content from text only files
php script parses line breaks to apply css tags (?)
make it easy for site maintainers to add/translate background content IDEA: instead of above use a project with units for all this content (less work for us and more regular interface)
* home
welcome blurb
hilight content
form: search
* my collection (develop existing design further)
- need to go over this area more in a meeting
questions remaining:
- how does admin/primary project collaborator find user? (javascript type hinting or search?)
- for admin do we need listings of subject, user, project, unit, resource or should we just use phpmyadmin for detailed data managment?

Meeting Jan 23
Tuesday 10:30-12:00, Jan 24/06
w/ Tom,Chris,Thom
1) server
- trebor questions hosting server at ub
- thom says etc still on track to have server which can host dlp
- will use kirk as development server until etc one comes online
2) icons for project/unit?
- one allowed per project
- filename is project id
- updateable
- resized to globally set max dimensions
3) with tagging becoming so big should we forget about controlled
vocabulary?
- don't think about this, we need control for professional purposes
(Thom)
4) urls of pages? clean or standard?
- url should reflect navigation history - eg: if unit is viewed thru
project then project id is in url, if viewed thru search then just
unit id
- look at wordpress url redirect method
- go with basic for now - eg:
http://sharewidely.buffalo.edu/dlp.php?
project=123&unit=534&resource=37869546
5) resource interface: download/view inline? size,format?
- new page show new page with links when clicking on resource title
- no new window, no embedded
6) new interfaces: login, home, info, search result
- send priority list of new interfaces for chris to work on
