Registry Development Plan

Progress on the development of the Conservation Registry has been very successful. Attached is an outline of which features are currently slated for release. Following internal testing and external beta testing, the Registry will be made available to the public during a Northwest pilot rollout during the Summer of 2008.

Please note that public release of specific features will rely on successful testing. All dates listed are achievable targets but cannot be guaranteed until testing is complete.

Initial Beta Testing Complete

We have completed our initial round of beta testing and want to thank all of the participants who provided their feedback.

This testing period (from January 31 to February 24) was focused on user accounts and data entry (adding a project, using mapping features, etc.). Data entry is the cornerstone of the registry as this area of the application defines the majority of the database fields, the database structure and data interactions used to capture and present conservation project information.

Our testing group was comprised of more than 40 individuals representing Federal and State agencies, national and regional organizations as well as private companies and individuals. Their comments are now being organized, prioritized and will be implemented as appropriate in the coming stages of development.

We’re pleased at the consistently positive comments we received about the Conservation Registry as a whole as well as specific features we have developed. This is an exciting time for our team and we’re grateful to all who participated.

Conservation Action Categories

The Registry will include a section on the types of conservation actions which will be tracked in the data entry form. Users will be able to choose their action from a list of options. The conservation actions are based on three broad levels of categorization that will expand into lists of more specific actions. This list is especially important for the Conservation Registry because it needs to capture what conservation actions are being done on-the-ground. Attached is a list of categories and specific conservation actions that we have developed. However, we still need your input and feedback to make the list as comprehensive as possible so please feel free to give us any comments that you may have on the list.

Registry Workshops & Participant Feedback

The Conservation Registry project team has been busy introducing our efforts via a series of workshops. These events have given us the opportunity to present the registry during development and invite questions and feedback from workshop participants. To date, we’ve participated in nearly 20 workshops and are grateful for the time, comments, and positive feedback we’ve received.

PowerPoint Presentation

This PowerPoint presentation is the tool we use for educating and promoting the Registry to audiences that would benefit from its use. It’s a quick, simple, and visually pleasing tool that allows us to more effectively spread the word. Please give us your feedback on the presentation and invite us to come speak about the Conservation Registry.
