Archive of Our Own - All-OTW monthly meeting + AD&T weekly meeting

[samvara]

All-OTW meeting closely followed by AD&T meeting from 7am to 10am. We felt AD&T needed to meet as well this week so we didn't put it off - much was discussed!

1. We’re still looking for CSS people – you want the AO3 to be beautiful don’t you?
2. Co-location: It looks like our second choice is turning out to be suitable; we’re checking out a couple of others as well but this one doesn’t have the power restrictions our previous choice had (much less expensive).
3. Beta: Deploy to Beta planned for Friday the 3rd – the new chapter by chapter code is going in plus a bunch of other fixes!
4. Site Map: I drafted up a quick site map – we should have one of those :p
5. Abuse interface: elz  says I can have threaded comments on my feature so Abuse-Admins can talk to each other which is great – now to work out how to fit everything together so it’s not ugly.
6. Bookmarks: We spent a couple of hours talking about Bookmarks this weekend thanks to the lovely and dedicated parenthetical . We’ve got a design plan coming together which is good, it needs love. We’re renaming everything from ‘recs’ to ‘bookmarks’ for a start, ‘recs’ is not the right term. We kicked around the whole concept of ‘rec’ versus ‘bookmark’ and we’re divided on which way to go forward.
   1. 2 types of bookmarks: Private or Public – this has the advantage of being simple and straightforward, you bookmark something and either only you can see it while logged in, or anyone can see it.
   2. 3 types of bookmarks: Private or Public or Recommended – this would give people the ability to mark specific public bookmarks as recommendations while not having all public bookmarks being recommendations. This could be handy if you want to have a public ‘to read’ list for example, but could be needless additional complexity and an opportunity for uncomfortable personal politics.
   We’ll be asking for public comment in a couple of weeks so keep an eye out and let us know what you think.
