Charter

Sprint to Assist New Users

We are a working group who needs to become a standing committee

Charter Template

• Dina will continue as Chair

• Team will consider if they can support as Co-Chair

• Team thinks someone from ACO should be EC Sponsor

Christine preview the continued work for the Getting Started content:

https://access.qltddev.com/

Discussed:

• Science Gateways are ok to play down right now - that integration isn’t quite ready

• Putting metrics back into landing page blocks

  • we can ultimately add a third row if needed

• Will combine the second and third sections

Next Steps

• After next round of revisions by Q, Nathan to loop in Allocations site developer so we can compare

Previous notes:

• Nathan showed new Allocations landing page

  • We like the stats - could this be on other pages? ACO landing page?

  • mentioned a list of nine steps might seem a lot to “get started.”

• Andrew suggested group eligibility and account creation steps together and the resources and allocations steps together

• We also want to make the color blocks linkable

• JP noted Science Gateways should be grouped with the RP block and suggested that block move to the far right position as the smallest audience

• The team generally felt this was a good direction, but a list of steps was still needed

• We decided to not include Science Gateway information in the list of “tools” since this program’s story is not completely understood. We can revisit this at our next meeting.

• Some discussion on where to include PI’s. We can revisit this at our next meeting.

New Users

• Possibly have a “join” button next to login to very quickly drive new users to a page that then guided them

Christine shared layout with “Get Started” in the “Welcome to ACCESS” box on access-ci.org hero image

Andrew suggests we promote that it’s FREE in a bigger sense than we have to date

JP brought up that not all new visitors are researchers; we also need to address cyberinfrastructure providers such as RPs

Andrew mentioned there will soon be a tool Support is building to help new users identify the best possible resources for their project

Review guidelines and bring thoughts to next meeting

• Need to decide on EC sponsor and Chair, Co-chair.

• Can we asynchronously add thoughts to the Charter template by 10/11?
