Possible Reload improvements

• Rather than adding loads of extra complication to the WCKER to translate user input to the correct formats for the specifications, we should add new widgets that do the job, e.g. VCARD ( IMS ref,  IMS ref), ISO 8601 (date, time,  duration), others? This is a good approach as the new widgets can be reused wherever their datatypes are used in the existing Reload.

Questions to be answered

• How do we see the TALL Short Course Wizard fit into productions processes?
  • Do we use Reload at the moment?
  • Were does the TALL Short Course Wizard fit into our process?
  • How do we think other people will use our/other wizards created with the WCKER?
• Do we want to give the option to add metadata or do we leave it on the reload level?

How to handle changes in structure

Changes in structure made outside of the WCKER, whilst authoring should be accomodated.

Strategies

• Ask the user if they've added/(re)moved anything (risky, not very helpful)
• List any files that are unexpected (after reload HTML resource finding) , and ask what to do with them
