[Fwd: Re: [dissent-tech] Proposed changes to website]

[Cat Tracker]

Yes thats fine, it dosent take a lot to reorganise the
menue, but putting up sections that we have no content
for, dosent help.
At the Brighton Gathering it was decided that the web
group was only responsible for design and
managment,not content, as this could influance the
dissent network and is a form of media in its own
right. also i have heard nothing from any working
group or local group supplying content or offering to
be a contact with the exeption to yuourself, who
admirably is wanting to make changes and at least is
having a go.

there is also anothet issue that needs to be sorted
and that is where to put the international callout (in
english and other languages) not to mention
translation that some one has at least started. but is
in the news section so it will move out of sight as
other people add news!

Much of this is to be disscused and sorted out at the
next dissent! gathering as its hoped that the web
group are going to meet up a couple of days before and
get drunk,no scrub that get work done! are you
comming? hope so because we need people like you
giving input.
but if not ill take a printed copy of the suggestions
with me. 
One of the problems we do have is that anyone can post
stuff on the web site there are loads of files on
there that has no link too, because no one has asked
us for help in the use of the mambo system, I am
currently sorting out a draft on How to use this site.
and the philosophy of the web group ie we dont do
content (even though i am working on it, see!) 

Ps if you need to contact me the number is 07985
540605
or 01332 835426

All the best hope to get stuff sorted next week on the
web
Love and rage
Gary
