Editor's Notes
- #8: A family of technologies and products
- #13: “Content is King” – If you don’t have good quality content then no technology or design is going to compensate.Invest in writing for the web training for content contributors.User experience is the queen, because good content that people can’t easily discover, access, and consume helps no one.And what should be guiding and counselling designs and decisions for content and user experience – The business goals.
- #14: The irony of this pictures is they illustrate what we don’t want our users to have on our sites:Long arduous journeys, fights and battles at every step, just to create or find a piece of content.To design a successful solution you need to design for the specific types of content, being created and managed by specific users, and being consumed by specific audiences.Is it New pages being created by a dedicated communications team with content writing, design and HTML skills?Or is it News page being created by anyone across the enterprise potentially with very limited skills?Is this News being read by a broad audience on a public facing internet site?Or is it News being read by a specialist audience on an intranet?Is there three News items a day or 30?Is there a need for moderation or approval?
- #15: In order of priority our biggest concern is the Content and UX for our end users who need to find and consume the content.But we can’t forget about our business users who need to create, edit, and manage the content in the pages and sites.Who we can forget is the SharePoint administrators who are managing site administration activities and more complicated tasks. Generally speaking these people will using SharePoint administration screens and we don’t need to or want to waste time and money changing those.
- #16: When delegating and distributing content management on an intranet or website a framework is needed that allows an organisation to balance Education, Monitoring, and Restriction.
- #17: If you need to support Monkeys then you will need to focus on Monitoring and Restriction.If you need to support lots of Monkeys then lock that baby down, restrict, restrict, restrict!If you have distributed publishing across an organisation for any content on an intranet then you need to restrict what they can do so they can’t get it wrong. If you put an open and flexible template out there for anyone to use, regardless of what policy you might write about it, then there is only one end result…
- #18: Are our organisations full of “teenageboys with fast cars”?As our technical ability to create, share, capture, borrow, disseminate, delete, tag, steal, send and possibly find information continues to increase are we actually improving our capability to truly manage information?
- #21: With personas and the EMR balancing act in place to provide boundaries we can embark on the activity of designing and defining content types.
- #23: <PotentialSharePoint list to group demo />
- #24: Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh knew their goal and knew their breadth of audience. That is why Arwen is such a significant character in the movies, despite essentially being part of the appendices in the books.
- #25: With Content Types,personas and the EMR balancing act in place to provide boundaries we can embark on the fun activity of designing how the content is going to be presented and how our users are going to interact with it.
- #30: Column PurposesColumns may have a single purpose or more likely be used for a number of different purposes. The purpose of a Column should be defined and captured in supporting code comments and any supporting documentation. For example the purpose of a Body Content Column on a News Article Content Type is most likely needed for containing the body of the news article and also providing a record of what the body of the news article was at a given time.For example the date and time an item is created useful for finding items within a date range and also as a record of when the item was created.
- #31: Column PurposesColumns may have a single purpose or more likely be used for a number of different purposes. The purpose of a Column should be defined and captured in supporting code comments and any supporting documentation. For example the purpose of a Body Content Column on a News Article Content Type is most likely needed for containing the body of the news article and also providing a record of what the body of the news article was at a given time.For example the date and time an item is created useful for finding items within a date range and also as a record of when the item was created.

- #37: Before my time but so I’ve been told Typewriting was more than just using a typewriter. It was about the creation and processing of information. In triplicate – A copy for the manager, a coy for the client, and a copy for the records.
