Weekly Project Update 3/23

[cstemm20]

Accomplished

• We went over using the project files in oXygen to edit or check multiple documents at once.
• We discussed our plans for an additional meeting between the three of us to ensure we have a tag list that is functioning at its best capacity.
• We started discussing our elements and attributes and possible changes such as removing or changing our type= attribute and changing our who= attribute to be more restrictive. These changes will be further discussed in our additional meeting.
• Discussed our wireframing/website sketching ideas and page navigation concept. Landed on some ideas we liked and may want to pursue such as a "Meet the Women" section, hover elements, dropdown boxes, and a blue on blue color scheme. Also decided we preferred highlighted backgrounds to changing text color.
• Discussed the potential need for JavaScript and what that might entail.
• Discussed learning how to import fonts so they'll properly render.

To-Do

• Have additional meeting to finalize XML tagging.
• Madelyn has volunteered to start work on our website homepage (loose goal to be done by next meeting).
• Continue to think about website features and our reading view.

I love the idea of a "Meet the Women" section, it sounds personal and welcoming and would definitely interest me as a reader. I am also interested to see what a "blue on blue" color scheme would entail; personally I wonder what readability would look like with this, and how you would make page elements or titles stand out if it was all blue (unless I am misunderstanding how this layout would appear). Looking forward to seeing this site!

Hey! I had a question on what you talked about when thinking about using JavaScript! It isn't something we learn, but I was also wondering if this could be useful for us, since I know a little bit about JavaScript! What did you think it could be helpful with?
