> *Website WG Meeting – 27/05/2009*
>
> *New website*
> • The gathering had reached consensus on the Saturday that an overhaul of
> the website was urgently needed. Discussion about Jon's website document as
> a starting point and how to take it forward.
> • Who is available to do what?
> ◦ Design: Sara, Torchbox (maybe)
> ◦ Tech: Jon, Brian, Neil
> ◦ Content Editing: Ellen, Jonathan, Alistair, Simon (maybe), Sophie (maybe)
>
> *Content*
> • Front page: specifically needs a clear process to decide what goes on
> there, what does not, and how changes are made. This will be part of the
> next design but we can review it now as an interim measure.
> • AP: Jonathan to suggest interim side button changes
> • Blog: Discussion about a potential blog:
> ◦ Needs a written mandate
> ◦ Should not have opinion pieces as these will appear to be “from the
> climate camp”
> ◦ Should have regular updates about “what's happening” - brief informal
> reports from meetings etc, to keep the narrative going and keep people
> coming back to the website
> ◦ Needs a process
> ◦ To discuss next meeting
>
> *Design*
> • Our new design should be quite flexible, as our “projects” change
> regularly, so it should not be designed around a particular project (I.e.
> g20, summer camp, etc.)
> • AP: Jon to speak to potential designers to assess availability
>
> *Tech*
> • Not clear if Drupal is necessarily the system we need, though it is
> working well in some ways. We should investigate other options but also see
> whether we can upgrade to a newer version and/or use existing
> functionalities more.
> • AP: Jon to look into our options at a technology level, therefore needs
> FTP access and technical access to Drupal in order to see what we currently
> have and how it works (consensus). Jon will ask Neil for passwords.
>
> *Next meeting*
> • At the next gathering in Cambridge, 20-21st June. We would like to have
> arranged a longer meeting outside a gathering sooner, but couldn't agree a
> date due to a number of people's constraints.
