| | 45 | |
| | 46 | |
| | 47 | == Process == |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | Widget-style approach as per the PSE widget: |
| | 50 | * ‘distribute the interface’ (data hosted on TN.org servers) for easy embed and re-use on sites around the world |
| | 51 | 1. embeddable maps and listings for national hubs websites |
| | 52 | 2. embeddable widget (sidebar/full page) for TIs’ websites |
| | 53 | 3. add a TI listing in modal pop-up launched from widget |
| | 54 | |
| | 55 | |
| | 56 | == Data == |
| | 57 | |
| | 58 | There will be a ‘slimline’ TI data type: |
| | 59 | * TI name |
| | 60 | * TI website |
| | 61 | * TI location |
| | 62 | * TI Primary Point of Contact (must be a TN.org registered user) |
| | 63 | |
| | 64 | |
| | 65 | == Support == |
| | 66 | |
| | 67 | * Transition Network need to take into account what level of support it can/not offer for this service - in what language |
| | 68 | * Budget for ongoing support? |
| | 69 | |
| | 70 | == Business offer to International Hubs == |
| | 71 | |
| | 72 | Transition Network offers this as a product and service to National Hubs with the following options. There is nothing in the MoU at the time of writing. |
| | 73 | |
| | 74 | * Use the system as stands (use embeddable iFrames into own site) |
| | 75 | 1. will need agreement on support - how they support their countries in their languages |
| | 76 | 2. support includes handy guides |
| | 77 | * Provide machine readable data (with agreed data structures) |
| | 78 | * Don’t use the system at all |
| | 79 | * We will need some form of data agreement with national hubs |
| | 80 | 1. e.g. TUS wanting the US Ini data for their engagement work |
| | 81 | 2. e.g. Germany building their own hub (ed nb: Michael Bakonyi email exchange) |
| | 82 | |
| | 83 | |
| | 84 | == What is included in this budget == |
| | 85 | |
| | 86 | * Support pages for Initiatives Hub |
| | 87 | |
| | 88 | == What is not included in this budget == |
| | 89 | |
| | 90 | * Key pages for translation from TN.org? |
| | 91 | * Including language/country-based pointers on TN.org to country pages? |
| | 92 | 1. what is a country page? |
| | 93 | |
| | 94 | |
| | 95 | == Languages == |
| | 96 | |
| | 97 | * Ed not sure about how easy/hard it is to do drupal multilingual works |
| | 98 | * Suggest not trying to do everything at once |
| | 99 | * possibly focus on key languages (is there a standard for this?) |
| | 100 | * take a lead from our visitor logs? |
| | 101 | * English is the lingua franca for the national hubs group |
| | 102 | |
