finished group goals and deliverables
Item Owner
rollout of Zulip.com as a community chat platform (alternative to Slack)?

ARKA is qualified for a sponsored account with the following standard plan features. To do:

  • organizational profile and link-to-zulip site logo placement; proposed hover-over text "Join ARK Alliance conversations with Zulip.com, an open-source, organized team chat app designed for efficient communication."
  • jk: fast (after all), free, supports privacy, configurable bots; need to fill out org profile and understand how to engage with public
  • all: ok with zulip rollout
  • ss: we need alliance with OpenAire, OpenAlex, and PKP
  • jk: I wrote to PKP (Juan Alperin) but haven't heard back; should I contact Jason Priem at OpenAlex?
  • ss: yes, he said they do index non-DOIs
  • cq: OpenAire seems mostly for academic institutions, so maybe not strongest case for BnF
  • ss: the linked data side of BnF is very relevant to OpenAire
  • cq: yes, BnF could participate in an OpenAire workshop
  • ss: good to have a Zulip documentation channel ("how to")
  • ss: people want to feel like the are part-owner of ARKA; similar to Omeka
