Attendance: Matthew Fancher, Daphne Hulse, Nikkole Duda, Justin Pryor, Patrick Duda, Steve Breitwieser, Shreya Mahajan

Introduction:

• Nikkole: Business Analyst for IT with F&S, keep us on track
• Matt: Web Developer, original Recyclopedia developer on Sitefinity
• Justin: Software Developer with F&S
• Patrick: Application Development with F&S
• Steve: F&S communications contact working with ITS on the new website
• Shreya: F&S zero waste intern, had the Recyclopedia initiative passed down to her from a previous intern

Matt’s two options:

First option (within the existing website):

• On the back end, the new website we can have a standard set of fields (title, description) whatever set of fields we need that we plug the information into
• On the front end, it would be a part of the existing website (fs.illinois.edu/recyclopedia)
• It would be searchable

Second option (microsite):

• Would get a URL (recyclopedia.fs.illinois.edu)
• Have more control over what was on the front page
• Things could interact differently, and as we wanted them to

Discussion:

• Steve thinks content within the F&S website would work well
  
  • The concern is the image sizing, which has come up on other pages
  • Come up with a style (post-produce) to make the photos more uniform
  • How will this integrate to the Waste Management & Recycling and zero waste and other relevant pages?
• Time component, we could do the website stuff sooner and think about a microsite later

Timeline:

• Daphne proposes during fall semester
• Matt suggests September 1 would be a wishlist deadline
  
  • Patrick suggests that the team do an internal review of the deadline and get back to Daphne/Shreya

Sitefinity

• Standard set of fields from Sitefinity, will all need to agree if these are kept or if there are more needed — on Microsoft Teams Nikkole will create a team page for everyone so we can overview the fields and agree
• Steve suggests that we focus on a core amount of items (top 50) first before all of the random abstract stuff
  
  • We would need someone constantly managing it, if we didn’t cap it somewhere
  • Suggest recycling@illinois.edu as a place to ask additional specific questions for things that are not covered

Nikkole will get us set up on Microsoft Teams, so the ITS group can update us on their progress and receive feedback from us when needed.

Thank you,
Daphne

Hi Daphne,

My apologies for missing your last message. You will still be able to log in to the dashboard using the link below.

We should probably get together and discuss moving the recyclopedia into our new website structure, as that is where our development efforts are currently going, and we can bring a more mature version forward there. I’ve tagged our Business Analyst Nikkole on this email, she would be a great point of contact if you don’t get a prompt response from me 😊.

Thanks,

Subject: RE: Recyclopedia

Hi Matt,

I wanted to follow up on this, as we attempted to log into the Recyclopedia editor (https://archive.fs.illinois.edu/Sitefinity/Login?ReturnUrl=https%3a%2f%2farchive.fs.illinois.edu%2fsitefinity) but were not able to gain entry using Net ID. Do you know if this would still be accessible to us?

Thank you!

Daphne

Hi Matt,

I know things were/are crazy busy for you with the website redesign! Just wanted to reach out and see what the status is with Recyclopedia and what you might need from us for this project. We’d love to get it to a point where it can be utilized by the campus community.

Thank you,

Daphne

Subject: Recyclopedia Changes

Hi Matt,

I was wondering if you would be able to fix these few formatting issues in the Recyclopedia webpage through Sitefinity:

• Showing 20 items to view on one page, and then 20 more on another page, and so on
• Inputting a "featured" portion at the top of the page containing 4 items
• When clicking on an image, instead of it being enlarged it shows information about the item

Would you be able to help with making these changes?

Thanks,

Shreya Mahajan
