Art of Life
Flickr content from IA – Trish talked with Chris about ideas for meeting at IA. He was to report back to us but haven’t heard anything.
Talked with Guarav about him helping with uploading content to WC. He will try to help but has limited time. He would like to review a file of what images we have classified. Needs a .csv file. Include page URL, all bibliographic metadata (esp any subjects) . He can play around with them and talk with WC community about how to upload them.

IA server was rebooted – no processes running now. Mike asked Kyle to restart processes

Zooniverse/ConSciCom – Trish sent examples to them. Trying to setup a meeting this week or next.

Purposeful Gaming
Architecture for Managing multiple OCR versions – Mike and William discussed and have better idea of what functionality is needed. We won’t need another tool but can manage with what we have. Need a mongoDB and wiki install for managing. Mike would do it as 2 separate servers. No cost involved. William will folowup with Mike Westmoreland.
Tiltfactor has been working on back end and wants to update us. Sent some suggested dates.
Text to image linking – TILT2 Desmond had some partial results but hasn’t had time to work on further. He emailed William last week with some updates. William will forward to Mike.
