Kim Lightle and Carol Minton Morris met briefly to discuss progress and refine timeline: --CMM will let Elly know that the Polar Blog won't let you sign in to post today.
Kim is planning on having the Content Group begin posting in the blog every week until the first issue launches, so they will all need to register at NSDL.org. The RSS feed from this blog will be
the "IPY in the News" category in the thematic Ezine. http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/help/tutorials/login#step1 New users can begin this process starting from Expert Voices or
NSDL Wiki. --Access to all BPPB documents will be public. --The Content Group will develop html templates or stylesheets for each of the five Ezine categories where they will
be adding content to On Ramp as part of the content development process: http://onramp.nsdl.org/list.php?community_pid=onramp:46 Templates will include structure--headline,
subheads, text blocks, typestyles and sizes--as well as content types--images, rich media, links, and links to standards. Question: Can we get an sample of each Ezine category content
using the templates when you have them? Question: The need to express correlations to ed standards in content will span all categories. How should this be done--correlations in the html
template could link to metadata, or be part of content? What makes sense? Would a link to the Ohio State cataloging tool be useful? --We will wait on scheduling On Ramp training for the
Content Group until we can demonstrate using category templates as part of the workflow. --Tomorrow the Content Group will meet to begin sketching out the 20 issue themes. They may use
the wiki to develop main themes (main theme may be, for example, ice along with subjects associated with ice) --Kim should have a domain name selected soon. We will use a root for
