TIGvibe meeting

July 23, 2002

feedback• concerns about time zones with doing live broadcasts (potentially have 2 live events)• usability – how will you test it?• really good idea• how will it work in terms of coordination?• need to develop a funding proposal• roles and responsibilities (have regional coordinators – providing content, interviewing people,

posting articles etc.) • need job description for coordinators role• spotlight ideas are great so is rating system• design the resolution needs to be adjusted • would there be a ‘youth rep’ type of system representatives regionally? • quality assurance / approvals / ensuring that people aren’t uploading music that isn’t theirs • navigation needs to appear in a way that is clear• needs to be integrated better with the main site (some things are redundant – ie: member

birthdays, members online) right now it’s a stand-alone site• will the main TIG toolbar exist at the top??• ‘music is my soul’ – this is something that really excites me! ~ jess• you have a lot of stuff – so much content to go through – it is important to start small• need to ensure self-sufficiency (especially in terms of content) – provide member services (that

can come later) • exciting to think that some local group might get discovered through a site like this• so many groups are just dying to expose themselves – a place like this will help them get it out

there!• concern about whether or not there was enough follow-up from the last discussion• want to make sure that we act on it and go forward on it • the things we are discussing today are some things that we have already discussed in detail• it needs a coordination team (some people offered to help) – keep momentum going / act on it• there are a lot of technical issues that need to be resolved - want to stay in greater contact

moving forward / sub-site of TIG – similar to sub-site & the global gallery • a lot of what has been done may duplicate what’s already out there...what sets this apart?

Next Steps...

• Step 1: Beta Version of the Website– need proposal / documentation of the site– need flow-chart of how technology will work
