    • Tom Maiden has joined us (Operations and also part of PSC as a resource provider)

    • Goal is to make resource providers more prominent on our pages

    • Will appear in the top nav

    • What should be on the page?

      • Discussed various ways visitors might be able to filter the info to see just what they want

        • Julie suggested tags that we could tag each resource with so that people looking for “storage” for example, could filter for that and get a curated list

          • We could use descriptions with the tag

        • Or come up with categories (i.e. GPUs) so people could figure out what they need and the various systems could fall within these categories (in more of a static manner)

          • these could be associated with tags

        • We provide the “search” terms that align with our tags

        • Targets: Researchers and educators (new and existing), resource providers, funding agencies, leadership
