[Cc-webedit] Updating the website

[Richard Braude]

Hey web team,

So Alistair showed me how to work the CMS on Thursday, which was great. I've
now been through the website and made some notes on what I feel needs
updating/changing, which I've typed up below. I've put an '(x)' next to the
things I feel I can do and are seemingly uncontraversial, so I'd appreciate
if some of the more experienced people on this list could hold off doing
them for a week so that I have a chance to get my hands dirty!

Most of the ones I've crossed are to do with content - just to clarify, I'll
try and not write this all myself, but try and find content from elsewhere
(handbook; flyers), or chase up other people to help me compile new content.

There are some other slightly bigger changes I think would be good, mainly
regarding the Blog, and some proposals for the Front Page, Past Actions and
Next Actions.

cheers,
Richard

*1. Front Page*
a Change feature text to 'Post Copenhagen'
b Change to non copyright image
c Copenhagen - what we did write up (x)
d Cop out camp out highlight write up (x)
e Climate camp tv needs new blurb with punctuation and better video (x)
f Gathering highlight

*2. Blog*
a Needs a newer blog post (x)
b Climate Campers Online needs to pick up Indymedia DK and other blogs

*3. Next Actions*
a Come to the Gathering - image, text, change the links
b Remove Copenhagen from the next Actions box
c Proposal: What about the Mainshill Solidarity camp as Ongoing?
d E.On F.Off needs updates (like Kingsnorth beings shelved; youtube videos;
Ratcliffe.) (x)

*4. Past Actions front page*
a Copenhagen needs to go there
b Trafalgar Square write up? (x)
c Where do local actions like Didcott etc go?
d Climate Camp Scotland and Wales? Currently takes three links to get to
Scot, 2 to Wales, 1 for England.
e Proposal, putting the Past Actions in chronological order:
(Bigger) Copenhagen - Trafalgar Square
(Smaller) Swoop - Blackheath - Wales - Scotland
(Smaller) G20 - Kingsnorth - Heathrow - Drax

*5. Past Actions sections*
a Summaries needed for each action -perhaps around 400 words, plus a video
(or photo if no video available) Slideshows would be good.
b Heathrow info is on a previous website somewhere (x)
c Does the same go for Drax? (x)
d Kingsnorth info is at old.climatecamp, just needs to be migrated (though
the radio link no longer works; would be good to get this up again) (x)
e Swoop banner could change, and we need one of the subsequent videos there,
not Fences (x)
f Blackheath needs a video (x)
*
6. Get Involved front page*
a Needs to move emphasis to local groups (top of list, etc)
b About should be further up (x)
c the two lists don't correspond
d Delete the weird advert at the bottom (x)
e Maybe it could be more like the other front pages, with pictures and jumpy
text boxes?
*
7. Get Involved sections*
a Get Educated - could do with some politics. links? resources? PDFs? (x)
b How we work - could have updates from the Handbook (x)
c Working Groups - lists don't correspond; several need updating or
'archiving' (x)
d Local Groups - could these have blogs on them, and then aggregated to the
main blog?
e Spread the Word - this is basically the page of the Networking and
Outreach working groups. Perhaps they could have some input to this page?
(x)
f About Us - update text. Make Principles and Unity parts more separate, and
flag them up more. (x)
g Take Direct Action - this currently serves no functional use as a page
h Other Events - currently just an advert for a bygone ActionAid event

*8. Blog*
a Aggregate from local blogs, and also working group blogs?

*9. Press*
a Do we need the NUJ and Marc V things up there? (x)
b Could separate press stories by month to make them easier to read
