Met with JL and Jim Kempling to discuss A City Goes to War project. They have obtained almost $100K.
They want a WordPress site based on the Victoria's Victoria model. A framework into which student projects will be integrated. So issue #1 is how to migrate student projects from a dev instance(s) of WP to the production instance.
They want to have a centralized searchable repository of photos with metadata and images of documents with metadata.
They want to have a database of military records (attestation papers, which includes sections: Questions put, Declaration by Man, Oath taken by Man, Certificate of magistrate, Description on Enlistment, Certificate of Medical Examination, Certificate of Officer) which is searchable/filterable by various criteria (to be provided by JK).
Data structure ideally is interoperable with the Canadian Great War Project.
Ideally the search interface will search both the db of military records and the metadata of the repository of images, if possible.
