Sketch of a process

Thinking this over... what if the process looked something like:

1. Exhibition curator/organizer contacts CDL (Sherri) about creating an exhibition
2. Sherri sends them proposal (and the template for context). Perhaps an "orientation" call.
3. Curator/organizer returns proposal and Sherri reviews for
   1. Completeness
   2. Technical feasibility
   3. Staffing / timeline logistics
   4. General evaluation relative to criteria (TBD- we need to create this) - like a first-pass grant reviewer or program officer, who can identify areas of weakness, etc.
4. Curator/organizer revises proposal, then it goes to...?
   1. This is where we have to discuss whether this proposal gets fully vetted by CDL and/or another body
5. Once proposal is accepted, Curator/organizer and Sherri have a meeting to get down to logistics
   1. Really go over the template
   2. Timeline, etc.
6. Curator/organizer submits template to Sherri.
7. Sherri reviews the template and plays 2 roles:
   1. Like before, a first-pass reviewer and "helper" to best prepare it for review
   2. An editorial role, ensuring writing is up to snuff and aligned with Calisphere standards
8. Curator/organizer revises template, then it goes to...?
   1. Again: this is where we have to discuss whether this proposal gets fully vetted by CDL and/or another body
9. Once exhibition is accepted, Sherri plugs it into the interface
   1. Small details refined, e.g. banner ("hero") image
10. Curator/organizer okays the final exhibition
11. CDL pushes exhibition to production

Concerns & notes:

• Too much overhead for SB? - especially the "between" steps
• Proposal vs. exhibition - can we iron out more of it in the proposal step, so more of it is ready-to-go 
  • Proposal stage: CDL-mediated
  • Exhibition stage: whoever-vetted
  • Final edits: curator-driven
• Finer rounds of approval, etc. - a back-and-forth
• *CDL as arbitrator of the proposal/initial phase: guiding the content - this is important
