[DONE 09/30/09] Finding Us

[NOT DONE] Meetings: waiting on Juliet

• Missing Michiel's bio (he needs to supply)

[NOT DONE] Students and postdocs: private contact

• Put FULL student and postdoc contact info on private webpage (not twiki, which won't work well). Use same mechanism for updating as for public list.
• Question: should this be two pages, or alright to be one for this piece?

• populate!
• working with Juliet, ADD a "comments" column which will be on both public and private page; and ensure that the "ROLE" field is very consistent, limited to a small number of preset options. Any elabaoration on them like "on leave" or "research technician" or "visitor" should be in the comment field. See Juliet action item below.

[ALMOST DONE] Publications & Theses

• We need a plan for theses. Current database is not well populated. For now, Andre will dump what we have.

• contrast between 1st and 2nd level headings - add a thin line delineation; could use this elsewhere (finding us, etc check other pages w/ sections)
• consistency in linking (respond to faculty requests checking first pass)

• • New plan: files named in convention heidrich_15; associated with tag (title and full author list), and link to paper (eventually; for now, to pubs page?)

• The plan: turn our courses into a shorter list, sorted into the three areas but grad/ugrad continuous, with course number, title and a couple of sentences.
• additionally, within each area section follow our courses with "external courses", which include dept, name/number and remarks like "most HCI graduate students are expected to take this one"

• • Supply 1-2 sentences for the course that you nominally "own".
  • E.g. TAMARA/ROBERT -> 314; KARON -> 344, 543; JOANNA -> 444, 544; TAMARA 533C, ETC
  • EVERYONE: review external list and contribute remarks like "most HCI students are expected to take this one."

• • TAMARA will take first pass, or farm out to someone else
  • ALLA has "information for prospective graduate students" on her website which could be used as reference.
