We’ll obviously need to figure out soon how to handle all the e-platform stuff as you step back from this…Any suggestions from others would be most welcome!<div><br></div><div>Bill</div><div><br><div><div>On Dec 10, 2013, at 1:32 PM, Tapani Tarvainen <<a href="mailto:ncuc@TAPANI.TARVAINEN.INFO">ncuc@TAPANI.TARVAINEN.INFO</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Looking at the website, here're some substasks that should<br>be done regularly (and as noted, these don't require any<br>serious technical skills):<br><br>* Banner photo and CD date should be changed after each meeting,<br>preferably as soon as possible (or as soon as a photo of the<br>next meeting is available). Three times a year, that is.<br>And indeed this should be done right now (volunteers welcome).<br>Wilson, you've done this in the past, it might be helpful if<br>you explained how it's done.<br><br>* EC member page, <a href="http://www.ncuc.org/governance/executive-committee/">http://www.ncuc.org/governance/executive-committee/</a>,<br>should be update yearly after each election and possibly in between<br>if a member resigns &c. <br>(Unless someone beats me to it, I will do this as soon as the election<br>results are in, although some photos will probably need to be added later.)<br><br>* EC meetings page, <a href="http://www.ncuc.org/governance/ec-meetings/">http://www.ncuc.org/governance/ec-meetings/</a>,<br>should be updated after each meeting, as soon as minutes or<br>a transcript is available. (It's just a list of links to<br>mailing list archives, very easy to edit.)<br><br>* Elections pages, like <a href="http://www.ncuc.org/governance/elections-2013/">http://www.ncuc.org/governance/elections-2013/</a>,<br>can perhaps be left alone but should at least be removed from the menu<br>after the election is over, and of course a new one should be created<br>when the next election is at hand.<br><br>* Forthcoming events, <a href="http://www.ncuc.org/events/forthcoming-events/">http://www.ncuc.org/events/forthcoming-events/</a>,<br>should be maintained at least to the extent of moving events away<br>from there once they're over. (Right now someone might want to<br>remove BA meeting and add Singapore.)<br><br>* Adding new users. At least all EC members should have logins<br>to Wordpress. (Roles may require some thought. Perhaps "author"<br>might be appropriate initial role, changed to "editor" when<br>need arises; "contributor" could be used for people who need<br>some looking after, maybe even for all NCUC members by default.<br>And "guest" can be used for people who should see hidden<br>menu entries but not write anything themselves.)<br><br>Those are perhaps most critical to keep the site from appearing<br>derelict. Member list at <a href="http://www.ncuc.org/participate/members/">http://www.ncuc.org/participate/members/</a><br>as well as all (?) pages with member statistics, including the map<br>image, are automatically updated from the member database, they<br>do not need to be manually maintained.<br><br>Of course it would be nice if new content was also added regularly,<br>blog entries, additions to Statements and Letters, &c,<br>but those don't fall under maintenance by any standard.<br><br>-- <br>Tapani Tarvainen<br>_______________________________________________<br>E-team mailing list<br><a href="mailto:E-team@lists.ncuc.org">E-team@lists.ncuc.org</a><br>http://lists.ncuc.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/e-team<br></blockquote></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
