Path to publishing!

[shawna-slh]

From in-person meeting with Denis, Jenn, Mike, Sharron, and Shawn on 15 October 2024.

Agreed on:

• for the resource on the WAI website, focus on the provided mappings that most people will use (rather than organizations creating their own customized mapping, which likely few will do)
  • specifically, that means using the main page approach worked on with EOWG
  • WAI website will include the succinct info (not the longer Introduction and FAQ, which could be published through the Community Group)
• use existing WAI site styles and components, e.g., https://master--wai-arrm.netlify.app/planning/arrm/roles/
• publish it as a 'draft' with call for community input through the ARRM CG

To be confirmed:

• [ ] change 'checkpoints' to 'tasks'
• [ ] simplify the table structure throughout (e.g., see suggested headings in simple table vs complex headings)

New ideas from Shawn & Kevin:

• [ ] propose not to have the 'starter list' of ~15 uncategorized tasks, which risks being overwhelming and less useful; instead include all tasks for that role under the helpful categories (Images and Graphs, Document Structure, etc.)
• [ ] instead of adding complexity of interactive resource, provide CSV file that folks can download, see issue: CVS file (or interactive tool [future enhancement])

To do:

• [ ] Denis and team provide suggestions for formerly-known-as 'Decision Tree'. Please put aside past history and think about this from new users' perspectives. For context, see the section Customizing ARRM for Your Situation
• [x] Shawn confirm Kevin OK with "task number" for column heading
• [ ] Mike Gifford, or Ken F (WAI staff), or someone else explore options for single source of data that is: 1. used for displaying the full table and the role-specific tables, 2. available as CSV
• [ ] Shawn finish incorporating input from Kevin
• [ ] Mike update tables
• [ ] Denis or someone else list contributors in the Acknowledgement page — preview, edit

I am in favor of most of these suggestions, except for the "new ideas". I will want to discuss those more before any decision is made. For everything else, it seems aligned with what we discussed.
