Comments & Events

Robyn, Project Manager at Matogen Digital Robyn, Project Manager
Hope I can clarify here some, but I may defer to Jim on one or two of these (he will be back next week):
  1. I think having the News page sorted by these clickable tags would be just fine, and so News items could be sorted by those categories.  I don't think there are other documentation or content types on the site that need tags. Jim, please let me know if you think otherwise.
  2. I think what was intended here is that we would ideally like a way to pin a post to the front page or top of the news list, without needing to change the date to push it to the top manually. Right now, I think these pages appear in the feed by published date, so if there is a page we want to keep around on the top of the list, we have to keep modifying the publishing date after we publish new items to keep it at the front of the list. Again, Jim, let me know if you think otherwise.
  3. I think keeping related topics is a good idea in general. Perhaps minimizing the visual impact would be useful for those that don't like it -- either by narrowing the banner, removing any image previews, etc.
One more item that came up similar to #1: We would like the software pages to have tags similar to those that appear on the news articles. These would also be clickable to sort software by that tag. This request is driven by Jim W, as our Office of Information Technology is developing a web page that will point to AI tools, and so Jim requested that we create a category for AI/ML/Deep learning, etc tools. In such a case, when someone searches for AI on our software page (https://msi.umn.edu/our-resources/msi-software) they will get all relevant tools. OIT will point to this page/query so researchers see what’s available. If there's something Nick Dunn will need to add to the intake file to make this happen, let us know and we can work with Nick to get that configured into the intake

    • Removing from chron resolves the lagging site situation
    • Jim will get some advice on how often to do software updates
    • Humans update the System status manually and we automatically look at the status colour which determines the colour revealed on the website.
