    • Tom: nothing to be done immediately, but we keep it on the radar
    • Stuart: contacted Eric, conversations are going on in OCLC, presumably involving other parties who could be involved in maintaining the service
    • Github consolidation (Tom) 2015-11-20 Call

  • W3C representation on task forces (Stuart)
    • Stuart: DCMI is W3C member, Tom is in the Advisory Committee
    • DCMI can sit on Task Groups, Working Groups and so on
    • W3C doesn’t like people joining groups via DCMI if they work rather for another institution that could be W3C member directly.
    • Participants should be cautious to make sure that they act on behalf of DCMI
    • Maybe provide dublincore.org/net email addresses to participants.
    • DCMI brings the interests of cultural memory groups to the table
    • W3C opportunities for involvement: http://www.w3.org/Consortium/activities
  • Malware issues (Tom, Jon)
    • no further complaints
    • no response regarding further details
    • ACTION: Tom sends another follow-up to NLK
    • Otherwise we don’t see a reason or even potential for further action
  • Mailinglist for the IAC (Kai, Tom)
    • ACTION: Tom contact Alex re. DC-TOOLS and DC-REVIEW lists to get them working reliably
  • Action plan for the website (Kai)
    • There is a timeframe, latest July 2017!
    • Decision is to be made very soon: there will be a Wordpress website, based on the LD4PE wordpress installation
    • http://dublincore.net/ is already Wordpress driven, Menus are broken
    • LD4PE goes live within a couple of weeks
    • Question: Should we go ahead with Wordpress or not?
    • Wordpress
      • advantages: easy to create and maintain content
      • disadvantages: long term preservation/migration of content
    • Static Site Generators
      • advantages: flexible and easy to preserve
      • disadvantages: requires significant development and coding/markup skills for maintenance

ACTION: Tom provide a list of URLs pointing to stuff on the site that shows the variety of content as well as indicating the important parts that have to be supported by future systems.

https://staticsitegenerators.net/

ACTION TO ALL: Pick items from Toms list and try to get them done in your favorite system, Wordpress or a static site generator. So we can compare and discuss.

For the last point, please review the minutes of our 2015-11-06 call. We more or less agreed on investigating some static site generation approach. To get this started, we have to decide on the next step, e.g., forming a task group or get some demonstrations or prototypes.
