Organizing the SLWG

[bnord]

There are a few things to do to launch this officially for the group.

• [ ] We need to write a document that states clearly the process for updates to the working group.
  • [ ] This document should include a clear definition of the data structure
  • [ ] This document should include a timeline on which updates will be made.
• [ ] We need a plan for large data sets of candidates: A web page with too many objects will be hard to look at and review. Can it be filtered on keywords, for example? Could we sub-select based on content? Could we create a database table and have that automatically uploaded when people filter it?

@mssgill I think we'll want to have basic versions a procedure (one step beyond outlines) for the next all-WG meeting in early Nov.

• [ ] the procedure for getting data to you for uploading, which would include
  • [ ] how to get images, because it won't be our responsibility to get images.
  • [ ] what classifies as something worthy of putting into this list.
  • [ ] time frame for updating
  • [ ] data structure definition: required and permitted/optional columns
  • [ ] request for feedback on other aspects: layout, usability, etc.

If this whole thing was 1-2 pages in a google doc, and head a ToC and good headings, I think that's enough to give to Adam and a few others for review.

Could you draft this and I'll modify?
