Jennifer,
Yes, I think you've got it right. This is early in our thinking but
from what we talked about yesterday plus where we're heading with the
project, it seems reasonable to let this idea structure our movement
forward. We'll likely start with something small, building on
solutions we're already working on or are next in the pipe, and then
we'll build upon that. Since it's early, we have flexibility to
direct our work as we get clearer on just what we mean by "tour
creation tools" and just what we mean by DIA staff using them and just
what we mean by extending them to the greater public.
So, no shortage of work to do to clarify that, but I think this is the
structure we need to let our minds fill in the specifics while we work
on some of the foundations of the solution.
This is going to be great fun!
Best,
Jess

Thanks Jess. Amy and I want to make sure we understand. Are you
saying that we are moving toward a Fluid Engage application that
involves the development of tour creation tools for use by the DIA
staff, but that the tools would be created so that they could be
further developed at some other time for the general visitor/public?
If so, we think this is a very good direction.
Jennifer

Dear Amy and Jennifer,
Thanks for the maps. I think the conversation this morning was
exceptionally helpful in structuring our thinking about what micro-
project we might take on with the DIA.
Colin and I had a quick chat after the call and as he put it: we
have an opportunity to begin from the perspective of creating museum
staff tour creation tools, with a gentle small step towards putting
it in the hands of the user. One way we can begin to realize that
is to start working with the map you have and see how this can fit
in with the current goals of the project. I'm working on
articulating the structure for our 3rd Quarter work, so expect to
see that coming across in an email soon.
We're energized and excited by the possibilities!
Best,
Jess

Please find attached two sets of maps (three floors each). One set
is the public maps that Alison snapped photos of while here. To
highlight the general concern of DIA keeping up to date that
Jennifer noted, these maps will very soon be out of date as they
indicate the soon to open (Feb 2010) Islamic galleries in the wrong
place.
The second set is the more detailed version that I mentioned. These
are the galleries as built and were drawn for us by the design firm
that worked on the reinstallation. But again, they don't include
Islamic and some of the non-public spaces are not accurate.
Let me know if you have any questions. It was nice to speak with
you this morning.
Best,
Amy
