When I go to add an item, I expect there to be an option in the "add item" panel to push the new item to the Commons, much like there is for existing items.

This is an issue for Omeka 2.x only. The option appears as expected for Commons contributors using Omeka 1.5.

As a Commons contributor, I did not have a site description set when I joined the Commons. Upon looking at my site profile on the Commons, I went back to the "Site Information" view of the Commons plugin section, expecting to find a field for my site's description as it appears on the Commons. Not finding it there, I went to the "Settings" view of the Commons plugin section. Finally, I went to the "Settings" view in the top navigation bar and found the field for "Site description". After filling in the content and updating it, I expected to see it updated on my profile in the Commons, but it didn't take.

Ideally, I expect a "Site Description" field in the Commons plugin section in the "Site Information" or "Settings" views to be the same as the "Site Description" field in Omeka's general settings. Updating the site description through the plugin interface would update it in Omeka's general settings as well as the site's profile in the Commons.

As a Commons contributor, I attached image files to my items, and shared those items with the Commons. The items were successfully shared with the Commons, but there is no record of the attached files in the Commons admin records of the items.

When something is removed from the commons, should it also be deleted from the Commons?

First glance says "of course", but if we're doing preservation on-the-cheap by saying we have a backup copy in case something goes wrong with the local site, shouldn't we keep a copy around? That's the reasoning of just making it private when deleted locally -- if someone accidentally deletes a bunch of items, we should be able to get their copies back for them, yes?

When Commons plugin is installed, I also get this error in admin/items/edit:

In left column, where the metadata tabs are:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /websites/devsites/sbrennan/onefive/admin/themes/default/items/form-tabs.php on line 51

Items seem to be displaying, but hard to see relation to collections exports

Right now, Sites assumes EB 1.x. Need to figure out a way to pull in from 2.x

Each of these actions made as a Commons contributor need some kind of error or success flash message.

• Whenever a change is made to a field on the 'Site Information' view.
• Whenever on the 'Share' view, the contributor checks "export all the items" and updates the commons.
• Whenever changes to 'Settings' are saved.

1. Items sent to Commons status and details are Ok and Ok, with no link to page in Commons (may not have been sent to Commons, see next section).

   Huh, I’ve introduced a bug! I’ll add that back in (I think it was there before?)

before?) —yes, it was in there before. And I did see that my items were sent, but they weren’t in my display case.

@sheilabrennan @sharonmleon This is something that I think we'd talked about long ago, and is built in a rudimentary (and buggy) way. Could I ask for some more details about what this should look like, and what actions, if any, a site admin should be able to take on that screen? Thanks!

ccing @kimisgold to ask if she has any thoughts on this page, too.

need to make sure that repeated tries at file upload can still get added to commons

When sending data about an entire collection's items, it looks like data about each item is sent separately. It should all go in one big array.

need to create aggregates of sites in Commons

Keeping the checkboxes unchecked give ambiguity between whether/when all items in a collection have been sent to Commons. Make that explilcit.
