Hi Skye
I am moving the conversation to redmine. Unfortunately, some of the changes that were made need to be modified as UA didn't have full information when they wrote that document. Because we are trying to tie ONEMercury in with the public site, other people needed to be involved in the conversation. Sincere apologies for this - we are working on our communication structure.
Below is the list of items that need attention. If you had already listed them as done, I have explained why further consideration is needed. Some others need additional context from UA.
Note: I am looking at: https://cn-dev.dataone.org/onemercury/ and the numbers below correspond with the 'heuristic' document sent out by Mike.

Thanks
Amber

1) The missing 'about', 'participate' etc links at the top need to be reinserted. The idea is for the ONEMercury page to look the same as the public website so that users do not know they have moved (see mock-up I will send via email) and for them to be able to get back to sections within the public site. It was misleading that users thought these links were about ONEMercury and not DataONE but that has been resolved with the change of logos. However, Laura and Chris have been asked to change this set of links slightly so you may either need to wait on this or coordinate with them.
2) Thanks for the insertion of the tagline. However, the leadership need to agree on which tagline to use (it may be this one). Please consider this a placeholder until we have a final verdict.
3) Thanks for adding the DataONE logo. May need to think about placement of ONEMercury and tagline to best mirror the public website. Hold on changes to this one.
4) Help section needs work, most likely a collaboration with UA. In the interim, the large pop-up screen shot needs to be revisited / redone following other changes to the page (using DataONE colors).
5) Allow for wildcards in search. I do not know what else this was referring to.
6) The search results page is not 'clean'. I can't get to it right now but as I recall, on the individual record page the label text wraps and is not well aligned with the metadata content. ORNL DAAC was provided as a reference to a more 'clean' look. The item wasn't so much about functionality as aesthetics.
7) Believe you addressed these? Thanks (can't see a results page right now to check).
8) I think this was a comment to themselves?
9) These were primarily comments for the public site that got listed here. General message is to make things look streamlined.
10) Again, comments were on public website.
11) In terms of getting a consistent look the following things need to be done but communication with Laura/Chris regarding style sheets should be ongoing (since they are making a few changes right now).
a) Loose the grey, pixelated top and bottom border around the box
b) Do not have the panel flush with the top of the browser window but spaced as in the public website
c) Choose a color (other than pale blue) consistent with the DataONE color palette for the main area
d) Match the buttons to those on the public website and align them with the adjacent boxes / font
e) Match all fonts as much as possible

Thanks
