<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think a web content editing catch-up in London,
which can look through the whole site and decide on interim changes to the
content to propose to the wider list, and begin collating ideas for longer term
content changes, would be helpful, and good preparation for the meeting at
the Cambridge gathering.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, I think this would better be done at a
computer than at a London meeting. Why don't me and Alistair and Ellen and
anyone else interest organise among ourselves a date that suits? Possibly next
Thursday night, or next Sunday early afternoon, would work for me. Or Mon
8th.</FONT></DIV>

have a little bit of an issue with this depending on what is discussed<BR>-
it seems the "editing crew" are mainly in London (Jonathan,
Ellen,<BR>Alistair), but others of us are further away (Sara, me, Neil). I
guess<BR>it depends what the purpose of that meeting would be and how
much<BR>decision making power it would have, but if you guys came up with
some<BR>changes which were then sent to the list for comments first I think
it<BR>should be okay.<BR><BR>I do think we will need a full day meeting at
some point to:<BR><BR>* Put together the design brief<BR>* Think about
information architecture (do interactive stuff like card<BR>sorting,
diagrams on whiteboards, etc)<BR>* Work out a mandate for the blog<BR>*
Etc...<BR><BR>I think maybe we should try to set a date for this over the
list so that<BR>people's diaries don't get booked up. We realised in Hebden
this wasn't<BR>realistically going to happen before the Cambridge gathering,
but soon<BR>after would be great. We also said that it would be in
London.<BR><BR>I have set up a "doodle" here - please say when you can make
it and we<BR>can work out a venue:<BR><BR> <A

report that I have chatted to Torchbox<BR>(<A
href="http://www.torchbox.com/" target=_blank>http://www.torchbox.com/</A>)
and they will probably be able to do a design<BR>for us. They will discuss
it next Wednesday and confirm after that.<BR><BR>Jonx<BR>

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