team member pictures

Posted by alcrockett on 16th June 2008

It may be time to update some of the team member pictures on the “About Us” page. GIF is not really the best format for photographs. Perhaps have members posing with various demos or pieces of equipment, baseball card style?

put “where to find us” at top of “About Us”

Posted by alcrockett on 16th June 2008

Team member pictures and bios are great but maybe the “where to find us” section should be above the fold?

The About Us page:

Here is where you can find the official iSites user documentation (you will need to go through the PIN server to get there): http://isites.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=isites_help&pageid=icb.page79970

The developer docs can be found here: http://www.icommons.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=icommons&tabgroupid=icb.tabgroup1842

URLs too long

Posted by alcrockett on 12th June 2008

URLs to writeups and other resources are a little gnarly.

Example:
http://isites.harvard.edu:80/icb/icb.do?keyword=k16940&panel=icb.pagecontent274236%3Ar%241%3Fname%3Dindepth.html%2Cicb.pagecontent274235%3Ar%241%3Fname%3Dindepth.html&pageid=icb.page118854&pageContentId=icb.pagecontent274235&state=maximize

It would be nice to see if there’s a way to “pretty-print” URLs so that they’re less than 80 columns long and easier to remember. Hopefully iSites has a built-in way to do this…otherwise implementation may involve hacking the Deployment Descriptor file, which is doable but may take some time.
