Related artifacts relating to artifacts outside the exhibition--design or error?

[James William Yoon]

Hi Hugues,

Yura already pinged you about this from one point of view (re: "Related
Artifact thumbnails"), but here's another:

Some of the artifacts you list as related to a pivot artifact point to
artifacts that are not within the same exhibition, or even a current
exhibition. Some things that arise from this are:
1. Is this intentional? Specifically, does it make sense for a user who's
browsing the current exhibitions catalogue or looking at an artifact in
front of him at the museum to discover an artifact that's in storage? I
imagine this is something user testing can shed light on, but... (see next
point)
2. Is this required for 0.3? The developers have estimated that it'll take a
few hours to implement (our DB currently only holds artifacts that were
crawled through from the exhibitions catalogues and not outside; the
adjustment will take time). Given the limited time we have left before QA
testing and the pilot, is relating artifacts to artifacts outside current
exhibitions a priority?
3. Relating artifacts to artifacts inside a current exhibition is not an
issue.

(Yura and Colin, if I'm missing stuff here or got something wrong, please
add/correct!)

Cheers,
James
