Hello-<br><br>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).<br>
<br>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? <br>
<br>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...<br><br>It's here:<br><a href="https://we.riseup.net/cc_media+strategy/website">https://we.riseup.net/cc_media+strategy/website</a><br>
<br>If you want an invite to the Media Team crabgrass give me a shout and I'll get you on it.<br><br>Natalie<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/8/4 Richard Braude <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:richard.braude@googlemail.com">richard.braude@googlemail.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hey all,<br><br>just to feed in from the quite important media team meeting on sunday (apologies for late response)<br>
<br>we'd like to see three promo boxes on the front page: text, photo and video.<br>each box would show promoted material, or material generated by the documentation & blog teams.<br>
each box would then link to a separate page for blogs, photos and videos. These would contain<br>1) our own generated material<br>2) a secondary tier of material fed from other trusted sources (i.e. other blogs, stuff picked from tier 3 below)<br>
3) a third tier for openly added material<br><br>can other with more technical knowledge please fill in website & jonathan on how this would work?<br><br>apologies for so many lists being added in here, but it does affect us all!<br>
<br>cheers<br>richard<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 5:34 PM, Neil <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:neil_bye@hotmail.com" target="_blank">neil_bye@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Making more of a banner at the top and larger prettier text for Camp for<br>
Climate Action. Rounded corners might break up the box impression.<br>
I like the side menu idea, don't like the menu split between top and<br>
bottom.<br>
In peace Neil<br>
