Hi Steve,
Thanks for the web-site update. We missed you in Edinburgh, but we'll
hopefully get to meet sometime sooner than later.
The site has matured a ton -- its looking nice, and I like the content
additions you have done. We need to work on some of the visual appeal
(we need a few pictures at least), but I like what you've got. I
managed to edit some pages without crashing my browser, so it looks like
you solved that problem. Thanks.
Once we're ready to go we'll need to migrate the current Wiki content to
the new site. Could you be sure to review all of the content at
"http://seek.speciesanalyst.net" and make sure there is a sensible spot
for it on the new seek web site? Most of it is internal project
collaboration notes, so should not be too prominent on the seek site.
Maybe it could go under "About SEEK|Teams", or maybe a specific project
intranet area? I'm open to suggestions. Will those wiki pages move
easily (ie, do they use the same wiki syntax) or will they need to be
converted somehow?
I think the site is close to being ready to be deployed. We need some
more content work, and will need to install it on
seek.ecoinformatics.org (a linux box) so that the URL doesn't change.
What are the requirements for the installation? We currently have
apache and tomcat running on that server -- need anything else?
We're going to want to create an EcoGrid portal for finding data from
the EcoGrid. I was hoping you could take the lead on developing the web
UI for this, so you might consider how it would fit into the wiki
framework (most of the UI will need to be generated from a servlet or
something). An evolving developer's interface, not at all intended for
end-users, to EcoGrid is here for your reference
(http://129.237.201.166:8080/axis/registry.jsp). Looks like its down
right now but Rod Spears can turn it back on for you.
Can you produce a brief summary of what remains to be done before we can
deploy the site? Once that stuff is done we should send explicitly ask
for feedback from seek-web and then deploy it after addressing any
concerns that arise. Thanks.
Matt
