more Whos Who to consider

[Donald Dale Milne]

Just a few miscellaneous ideas I found. These should wrap up the
discussion. After this, I will go back through the final thoughts of
each group of ideas we discussed and try to create a master list of
requirements. Then we can take one more crack at them to determine a
final list to send to the Board and Tech crew.

1. Do we wish to attempt to track work a creator "Assisted" on in any
special way, or should this be gleaned from the standard information we
record by sequence?
2. We currently house some scans on our wiki, for art identification
purposes, as does the Who's Who. Should we integrate these with the
creators, such that each creator might have a link to scans of his work?
3. One possible method for providing information that we do not wish to
record in our GCD creator tables could be to simply link back to the
existing Who's Who record, for each creator, and leave that as is and
running alongside our project. Especially for some stuff that is
obviously not comics-related. Thoughts?

Yes, with limited number of scans, one or two, of original art if possible.

I'd let this fall out from the regular credits linking.

Yes, I think we should allow for adding scans for artists work.  On the policy side, we'd later have to establish rules about what would and would not be allowed, but I think we should included the tech requirement that we will want the ability to add some scans.

That sounds reasonable to me, as well.
