ACTIVITY REPORT FOR MAY, 2013
There were two meetings of the Task Force this month – one was the regularly-scheduled meeting and the other was a “special” meeting intended to be a test of a new meeting product.
Regularly Scheduled Meeting – May 20, 20 13
Discussions:
- issue of Accessibility for At-Large's web pages
- will be a continuing topic of discussion
- outreach to challenged communities is encouraged
- some discussion of labelling schemes for document indexing
Main Topic
The Task Force has been asked (by Chris Gift) to assess the LUCID meeting tool (www.lucidmeetings.com).
After some discussion, a decision to hold a LUCID-based trial meeting.
SPECIAL Meeting – May 30, 2013
This meeting was held using the LUCID meeting tool
The first part of the meeting was an exploration of the currently-available features and their use. Both the meeting leaders and the participants took part in trials of the product.
The trial was largely successful. We were informed by Staff that not all features are available yet, but are coming. Among these are:
- private chats
- enabled audio VOIP
- Confluence support (exporting information to Confluence, in particular)
- framework modification
Consensus – The Task Force will continue to hold its regular meetings using this tool for the time being and follow the progress of the updates.
There was also continuing discussion on the topic of information capture from various sources for the WIKI. This resulted in a recommendation that the current effort be directed to investigating what information is to be captured and how. Inclusion of this information on the WIKI would be studied later.
