[Dissent-tech] web site group / web site development

[Sheffield Mayday]

SB> Ok, I hope to next week put together a very plain vanilla template/css
SB> for the website using pure css layout rather than tables, if no one
SB> objects. With quite a bold easy read look.

Cool. Not sure about pure CSS. Very handy but, in my limited
experience, there's quite a bit of messing around to be done to get it
right for different browsers/platforms etc. However if you're happy to
do that then no problem.



SB> I think all the people who are quite engaged with dissent should be
SB> encouraged to have a login to the site with ability to add content. This
SB> is on of advantages of using cms. That site do  not bottleneck through
SB> one person. I hope every one here gets a login. I will post to main list
SB> next week to push people getting logins if people cool about it here.


Not sure about this. Anyone could be on that list now so I think it
would be better to invite the working groups rather than just anyone
on the main list. This could also be raised at the gathering.



SB> Btw I 'unpublished' polls module as I don't think we will set them up. I
SB> think they are a distracting gimmick to getting a site with info people
SB> come to find. I might do same with newsflash component, as at this stage
SB> not needed. These can be republished at will but also there are many
SB> other components and modules that can be added such as fully featured
SB> gallery  (note: there is a limited admin access only media gallery to
SB> have photos and images attached to articles already). But lets stick to
SB> getting it basic info on site sorted out. And our own look and feel.

cool
