May 24th Meeting

• Graeme will populate the links page.
• Postpone code changes until we have a new code system that uses templates
• We have entered 33 coins of 150. Photography will happen next week. After that we can redo the original 150.

Code Redevelopment

• It is important that a code redesign not prevent us from the key deliverables
• Harold will develop a new code base that allows us to modify the code better, modify the designs easier, and so on
• We will back up the old system and then test the new with the existing
• We will enter coins in the existing system for now.

Design

Process

1. We develop a list of desired features.
2. We create 2-3 wireframes of 2-3 major pages. We will need wireframes of the following
   • Home page (introduction)
   • Search
   • Results
   • Tour wireframe or Glossary
   • Timeline (optional)
3. We discuss these and settle on a layout/wireframe design
4. Then we develop a couple of different graphic designs using different images/fonts
5. We discuss these and settle on a final one

Desires

• Flat hiearchy
• Signature banner that is suitable and extendable
• Infomation at the bottom
• Faceted browsing - there would be a "Browse" button where someone could browse the coins using facets like the Blacklight UVA site. See http://aleph.lib.virginia.edu/blacklight/
• Purse idea - by session - ability to save a purse and then upload it. Thus a teacher could save a purse and upload it.

Tours

• We need some examples - Graeme will find some examples
• Some ideas
  • Chronology of the Republic with events and coins
  • People
  • The six week emperor
  • Wacky emperors
  • Roma herself
  • Chariots and boats
  • Janus and other gods
  • How coins were made*

Contracts

• Harold and Gaeme will work with new language from Gerrie and Michele to finalize.
