CanMys: Technical Evaluation responses
Started work on response to "Technical Requirements Evalutation Checklist" for the last three Canadian Mysteries sites (Klondike, Jerome, Vinland).
Checklist Item 1.2: The banner image for the 9 webquests do not validate, but problems are trivial. I'll need to spend a couple of hours to make those changes.
Checklist Item 5.2: The teacher's notes and supplementary material for the nine webquests are pdf files only. They need to be provided as HTML as well. Each webquest has one text document and 1 to 2 documents with tables of text (evaluation guides for teachers) and 2 to 3 documents with empty tables (for students to fill). This will take a couple dozen hours to create the templates and then maybe 80 hours of copy and paste of text from a pdf editor.
Checklist Item 6.0: Dublin Core. The keywords in the the subject element should be separated by ";" not by "--". I've asked Merna how many pages contain DC elements.
Suggestion 1: disallow user from seeing directory listing for those directories which do not contain an index file (need to do research).
Suggestion 2: css link elements need to have type attribute (need to figure out scope of problem then do mass search and replace)
Suggestions 3: they don't like duplicate text in "title" and "alt" attributes of img tags. (need to figure out scope of problem and ask Merna for direction)
Suggestion 4: broken links. I'll fix those.
