A separate on the site highlighting upcoming JA-SIG (and related) events – - conference, unconference, etc. Events should be available as an iCal feed (nice-to-have) and there should be an RSS of updates about JA-SIG events and conferences (requirement).

~awp9 wonders whether these instructions should be out of scope for the website itself. While it is important at a marketing level that it be clear that one can birth a new project, doing so is relatively infrequent, relatively technical, and needs to be kept up to date. It more fluidly connects with the collaboration happening in the wiki than with the static statements of the website. ~awp9's gut reaction is that the website page should be just a stub that links out to what we regard as more wiki than website. ~jayshao argues that a reasonably fluid system for manipulating the website results in a dynamic where location of content is less influenced by how often it changes, and more appropriate to determine based on whether or not it's a collaboratively edited document - as some "official" content is probably better suited to basically a broadcast approach. Jonathan Markow sez: Website = Identity, brand, information, marketing, communication outside JASIG, easy answers to frequently asked questions. Wiki = Collaboration, projects, work-in-progress, documentation. ~jayshao my point being that's an artificial technology driven distinction, instead of an intention-based decision. Providing polished, external consumption vs. working internal consumption is a reasonable distinction. Basing that division on the technology we use to deliver sites seems less meaningful. It is possible to restrict & top-down IA a site in a wiki, just as it's possible to have a non-IA site in any CMS or HTML construction. The question is what roles do we need to fulfill? Jonathan: We should have a page about JA-SIG projects a la Gary Schwartz's suggestion below. Not "how to birth", just something about what it means to be a project. |

Give credit to commerical supporters.
(What about credit to non-commercial volunteers?)
Page for Institutional Members and their logos
Page for JASIG Strategic Partners, including logos and services offered
Page for JASIG Affiliates, including companies, sole proprietors, associations
Question: How do we honor developers, volunteers, etc.?
Awards
What awards has JASIG or its products won? Let's put the product awards on the product pages, too.
JASIG Bookshelf
This is an idea that Jonathon had. It would be a list of books recommended by the JASIG contributors. Book cover images would link to Amazon such that JASIG would get a kickback for each book ordered via the referral mechanism.
...
- link to all JA-SIG project sites (uPortal, CAS, Hypercontent)
- link to JASIG wiki
- link to JASIG UK (Update: That site went away for the time being...)
- link to ESUP-Portail
- The left-side navigation links need better organization and should include any new suggestions here that are adopted.
Other
Gary Schwartz, Bedework lead, had these suggestions for improving the JA-SIG website:
- We need an "About" page with, among other things, some organizational history
- There should be a place on the site that discusses stewardship and IP
- There needs to be a "Contact us" page
- We need a place to describe key JA-SIG values. What are we all about?
- Is there a JA-SIG "technology base"?
- We need to have a page that talks about what it means to be a sponsored project. What does JA-SIG do for its projects, and what do we *not* do? What does JA-SIG do to facilitate cooperation, collaboration, knowledge sharing?
- Where is JA-SIG going with its new projects? (How many, how soon, etc.)
Requirements for uportal.org site
...
There should be a tasteful, appropriate, but present listing of JA-SIG Commercial Affiliates providing services for uPortal. Jonathan: JASIG Strategic Partners listed first.
