2011 Website Redesign - initial rollout

Aug 12, 2011

The initial rollout of the redesigned Jasig website is staged at http://www.jasig.webchuckhosting.com/. We would like to make this live before Monday, 8/15. If you see any show-stopper issues, please make note of them by commenting on this page. We'll edit this page to reflect planned changes.

You can also comment on this page with non-critical suggestions for improvements to the redesign.

Thanks for your feedback!
