#Regarding data@idigbio.org now that dp has a gator link, does this mean I can be added to the mailing list that "sees" data@idigbio.org--[[User:Dpaul|Dpaul]]
#Where do users send email if they have a question
##data@idigbio.org
##the feedback (or both)?--[[User:Dpaul|Dpaul]] ([[User talk:Dpaul|talk]]) 17:48, 9 January 2014 (EST)
#(At Morphbank, to keep this straightforward, all email requests for help go to morphbank@scs.fsu.edu
##We do not have 2 separate paths for help / issues requests.
##I am assuming (I think) that clicking to send "feedback" generates a Redmine ticket (efficient and transparent). But, data@idigbio.org is not transparent.--[[User:Dpaul|Dpaul]]
#About this Section: Registering Your Collection in Preparation for Data Ingestion
##I suggest a different order. See next.--[[User:Dpaul|Dpaul]]


When your data are ready for ingestion, please see the next steps.
#Get an iDigBio account for yourself (if you don't have one yet). https://www.idigbio.org/auth/login.php
##These are the only login credentials you will need.
#Log in with your iDigBio account username and password. https://www.idigbio.org/auth/login.php
#Register your collection. http://portal.idigbio.org/register OR
#Register your collection at [http://grbio.org/ GRBIO]
##Repository: http://grbio.org/find-biorepositories OR
##Institutional Collections: http://grbio.org/find-institutional-collections
#If you are already on the portal page, the 'Register A Collection' is in the menu under your login name in the upper right of the page.

#About this next section:Data Requirements--[[User:Dpaul|Dpaul]] ([[User talk:Dpaul|talk]]) 18:33, 9 January 2014 (EST)
#I would avoid the word <strike>ownership</strike>, if at all possible to help the community get around this issue (eventually). This reinforces ideas / misconceptions, and adds to confusion about data, media (and copyright, and intellectual property, etc). Something like this for number 2...
##You have permission to contribute this dataset to iDigBio.
#for number 3. do we need to explain or justify? how about
::Data Format choices
:::[http://code.google.com/p/gbif-ecat/wiki/DwCArchive DarwinCore archive format] OR
:::CSV files mapped to [http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm Darwin Core] (and other relevant standards, example [http://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/Audubon_Core_Term_List Audubon Core])
::Data Transfer
:::Darwin Core Archive files harvest via IPT and RSS
:::CSV files via (...)
#for number 4, please add UTF-8 reference. something like:
:UTF-8 encoding preferred (should be required).
::validate (or verify) that "special characters" (diacritics like umlauts, tilde, cedilla) are correct in your dataset.

From Morphbank http://www.morphbank.net/About/Manual/imagePhilosophy.php to see how we worded "permissions" issue (revolving around images).--[[User:Dpaul|Dpaul]] ([[User talk:Dpaul|talk]]) 18:33, 9 January 2014 (EST)

#These following links (to me) are not Data Requirements. (at the bottom of the page in review). They are '''Image/Media Issues''' or '''Image/Media Guidance'''--[[User:Dpaul|Dpaul]] ([[User talk:Dpaul|talk]]) 18:33, 9 January 2014 (EST)

At some future date, I would hope we have enough staff to re-visit, re-write our ingestion documentation.--[[User:Dpaul|Dpaul]] ([[User talk:Dpaul|talk]]) 18:33, 9 January 2014 (EST)
I would like us to avoid a page, that has a link, that leads to a page with much-repetitive content, that leads to yet another page (often a pdf or .doc) that also has links in it. If I had to follow all of this, as a novice, I would be drowning. I think we'd need one person -- to do this (so that it's consistent) and it would need to be at least 50% of their job until done. It's better, but still I think we can streamline it more.--[[User:Dpaul|Dpaul]] ([[User talk:Dpaul|talk]]) 18:33, 9 January 2014 (EST)
