Tasks

1. Decide on top-level structure

As this is developed, consider possible content owners.

SPMS Manual

  • Possible organization: by sections, then screens; include topical index.
  • Review & consolidate information; will require review of most pages.
    • Sources in addition to current wiki: TM presentations (Todd, specifically--TM Monday "JACoW overview"; Info on roles; starting ~slide 11); Christine's bible (2013 TM) and other items from her (papers, presentations, etc.).
  • From Monday discussion: specifically mentioned hard-to-find items
    • Documentation on second industry email (Todd says okay for vendors, can also use non-SPMS email)
    • Second abstract reminder--usually a message to institution admins to remind people
    • How to put together synoptic table
    • Session chair information
    • editorial room setup
    • Additional sessions page is outdated
  • From Monday discussion: items to add
    • Second abstract reminder--usually a message to institution admins to remind people
    • Would be nice to have samples of emails
    • Printed program isn't always used --up to conference
    • What is purpose of accept/reject contributions at abstract level--didn't know what this means

Proceeding Production Chronology

Critical part of this is narrative to explain process and create a flow from section to section and plenty of links to detailed information, especially SPMS manual
  • Review & consolidate information; will require review of most pages.
  • Sources in addition to wiki: TM presentations; Christine's bible (2013 TM) and other items from her (papers, presentations, etc.).

Tracks by Roles

  • SP interaction with SPMS

2. After structure is decided

  • Add:
    • Short introduction to site organization and how to use
    • Site map
