[Cc-webedit] [mediateam] Re: [networking] New Website - Design Concept!

[Natalie Szarek]

Hello-

I've just heaved this conversation onto the crabgrass media team working
group on a wiki page + forum about Website stuff, stuck into the Strategy
section (because that seemed to make the most sense).

Is that okay? The Media team has made a commitment to using crabgrass for
these kinds of discussions to keep inbox volume low, especially for
something like this where very few people have input or even understand
whats going on! This is a bit difficult because there are other email lists
involved, but possibly the people who are involved in website redesign can
have a more in depth discussion about the website and then feed back to the
mailing lists?

Because there are several mailing lists involved, that means if the posts
dont get moderated right away, there is a bit of a wierd disconnect between
discussions as well...

It's here:
https://we.riseup.net/cc_media+strategy/website

If you want an invite to the Media Team crabgrass give me a shout and I'll
get you on it.

Natalie
