New Website Launch Process
What is the best staging of the launch for the new website?
The new website is currently named http://main.itsoc.sixfeetup.com/, and we ultimately want it to become http://www.itsoc.org/
There a many ways to proceed, but here is a working plan:
Content Responsibility
Who should be responsible for what content on the website?
With the new website, there are several models we can follow:
Homepage Slideshow
What kinds of images should we highlight in the slideshow on the main homepage?
The new website provides an image "slideshow" or "carousel" to highlight various things. ÌýCurrently we have an image of Shannon, ISIT 2008, and the Transactions (which is a bit too low-res for final production). ÌýSome graphics work is required for someone to submit an image with the right dimensions, but otherwise posting the image is pretty trivial.
Ideas:
Homepage Shortcuts
What kinds of links should we have in the "Join - Participate - Contribute" box on the main webpage?
Domain Name
Should we keep or change the 'itsoc.org' domain name?
