Minutes
GL and JK explained new concepts and features in the R0.8 scope and its use cases on http://colab.mpdl.mpg.de/mediawiki/AWOB_Scope_AWOB_0.8. Here are some discussions & decisions made.
 * Replace working groups in all use cases and conceptual model by groups henceforth to be more general
 * NB: is there any awob tasks for group?
 * JK: No.
 * NB: Suggests to support an attribute specifying the type of the groups (enumarated list), can rank the groups which defines the displaying order of groups.
 * GL: Potentially could use this attribute in the future to differentiate workspaces of different group types.
 * JK: for now, enumeration is "science working group", "technical working group", "steering commitee", "Other" . (THis is a temporary list).
 * [JK] updated use case accordingly
 * Agreed to support more options in creating a working space
 * save and go to the overview of the new workspace.
 * Save and go back (to where the action was triggered)
 * Cancel.
 * Eg., when creating e.g. a consortium to either save the consortium and go back to page where it was created or to save the consortium and to go into the consortium work space
 * [JK] updated use case accordingly
 * NB presents ideas about the new navigation in AWOB (previously proposed by RK, discussed agreed with AV, NB)
 * GL, JK seems good but it would be still useful to have a dynamic mockup or something equivalent so that users can have real impression.
 * [JK] Screen mock-up for the minutes, however, still being under construction



NB: Adding logo was remove from the R0.7 scope JK: VM hasn't tried, yet, and cannot tell how difficult it is to implement. JK: let's do this on R0.9.
 * Consortium logo & its own background.
 * JK: Andrea Merloni wishes to change the background of eROSITA in awob. Would it be possible?
 * NB: As now the admin can hand fix it.
 * GL: For consortia in particular, it would be useful for awob to support that each consortium can set its own background and logo.
 * Agreed on
 * to move some information(status, create date) of the metadata portlet to the title portlet.
 * What's new should be called "Log" and should become the last menu item of the LHS menu.
 * In the future release support "Announcements". Discussion where to put it. A wall?
 * [JK] R0.9
 * Membership of groups
 * Agree to support only adding members to group.(will be the only option in 0.8)
 * Invitation: R0.9
 * Discussion of Statuses of a project in various(project, working group, consortium) context
 * Differs from where the status is viewed: Status within the project (pending, in progress....), from the view of a group or from the consortium view (proposed, accepted, rejected, withdrawn for the latter two)
 * Who is allowed to edit the status?
 * We neeed a new edit possibility to perform status changes
 * Notify whom about what?
 * There is a decison table/matrix(Table of consortium/WG/Project roles vs privileges) as stated in http://colab.mpdl.mpg.de/mediawiki/AWOB_Scope_AWOB_0.8
 * JK will add more information of which action result is logged and notified to whom.
 * Introduce the concept of affiliations. In 0.8 possibly just an attribute
 * Require 'institute' at user registeration, and populate in my account.
 * whether to implement w/ using LR organization or list of institue names is TBD
 * The followings are moved to R0.9
 * support project's ePublication
 * Improve consortium publication archive
 * Support Group publication archive.
