that sounds like the most sensible option to me - the left-hand nav is there to reveal the underlying structure of the site, rather than to promote stuff<br><br>so we should be trying to keep it as consistent (and concise) as possible<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I agree with Jon that the left hand menu is too long.<br>
<br>
But I also agree with Neil that it's good to flag up the workshops form prominently on the front page of the site for those who haven't got the direct link (though without being forwarded the email they're unlikely to come looking in the next ten days).<br>
<br>
I think the way to address this is to use the central column to flag up particularly topical items, and keep the menu structure pretty static, so that regular users get used to it over time. So in this case I'd suggest putting a link to 'Callout for Workshops at this year's Camp' at the bottom of the centre column of the front page, and putting the workshops page back in working groups.<br>
<br>
The problem though is that over time it's become all over the place and we need to sit down and work out a proper structure for the site.<br>
<br>
Also, I'd like anyone who is considering adding or changing things on the left hand menu to put them to this list before making the changes, as we're doing with proposing significant content changes.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
J<br>

Not all workshop hosts get the newsletter, many are not even climate<br>
campers. They may however go to the website and as the recruitment<br>
window is so small we don't want to lose valuable people. If you are so<br>
fussed about the menu remove something less important for ten days.<br>
<br>
In peace Neil<br>
