Omeka server support conference call

We had a conference call today to begin the process of explore the OH5 Omeka instance we've set up for all to use.  See this TIC webpage for the current listing of staff who'll be the main contacts for the immediate future.  We'll track who's working which which plug-ins at this site too.

Steve Flynn is trying to get the OAI Harvester plug-in to work so we can easily bring DRC content in to create Omeka exhibits.  Xi Chen will be testing out the loading of a tab-delimited file of metadata.  Bluehost creates daily and weekly backups that are constantly being overwritten, but  Steve will also work to develop a simple back up command so we can save the Omeka file snapshots elsewhere on our Bluehost site.

For the time being we hope each institution will create a test collection and exhibit.  Local Omeka administrators will begin to discuss next steps in an early November conference call.
