Omeka server administrators' conference call

Brief notes from the local Omeka administrators' organizational conference call today...

• Xi will work on some design options for the overall homepage-- we'll run those by the Steering Committee before we commit to anything on the homepage
• Xi will also work on a Google document for administrators to share resources, procedures, etc.
• Steve is working on a chron job to give us some automatic backups on the Bluehost site-- no rush need on this at our current state of development
• Experiments, test collections, exhibits are already to be found at: http://www.ohio5.info/omeka/
• Steve got OAI harvesting working, but it seems that CSV file importing of metadata together with using the "drop box" for loading digital files is probably the most efficient method.
• Catalina will experiment with using Omeka as the grant project portal
• Meghan hopes to experiment with video files-- Steve's not pleased that Quicktime is the only mp3 player available right now
