Floe metadata authoring demo iteration 2

[Dana Ayotte]

Hi Jon, 

Regarding you question below, it would be great to implement the first option (an interactive "bucket" that shows existing and recommended features), but if we can't do it before the demo (April 22?) then it makes sense to me to go with your suggestion of #2.

Also, I was also wondering about the colour in the panels (the lighter blue of the icons and heading text) as the contrast is pretty low -- not sure if these are just placeholders for the panel frames, or is there a reason you switched to these colours? 

Thanks,
Dana

I guess this page currently has just the one video, but what will be shown on page 2 when multiple pieces of content are added and how will these be distinguished from features of individual items (I guess we won't have multiple items for this demo, but in the longer term)?  I understand that the captions panel shows up because the individual video is focussed and has no captions, but I'm not sure that's clear here, and I'm also wondering how the video and audio panels are accessed.
