Mock up

I have shared the following site redesign mock-up for Ohav's web presence with the rest of the committee:


based on the mind-map I created over a year ago.

Meeting 2

I missed a lot of meeting 1 over the cell phone "teleconference"...  For meeting 2, I came away with the following Action Items list for myself:

[ ] fix the grammar, especially on the first page
[ ] create a Forms page for the existing site
[ ] create a new front page and send to the committee
[ ] cover letter/email for advertisers.  Ellen will scan and send me the existing copy.
[ ] mailing lists? How many do we have/need?  Let's get a handle on this...
[ ] Does our hosting include Listserv or equivalent services?  Does Google Groups meet our needs?
[ ] document what we can do with Google Tools and email to the group
[ ] start drafting workflows - what do we want to communicate and to whom?

Also, we agreed we need to write an opt-out for the paper DASH in favor of electronic version.  New ideas for the web site include: a members-only area; using blog entries for all committees and Rabbis' posts; open listserv lists for members to discuss non-official ideas; an announcement-only listserv list for official Ohav business.

Nancy returns on 5/18/09.  I will bother her about a week later and try to get a handle on the communication and workflow setup.
