<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear CSP and Media Group members,</div><div><br></div><div><div style="font-size:12.8px">At the Santiago Interop, we started a discussion on revamping the IVOA website, and in particular, having an "IVOA Portal" on the front page. Bruno, Pepi, Janet, Jamie, and others had a discussion in December about what should be on the front page. See the meeting notes for the detailed discussion plus the general direction we're thinking of at <a href="http://wiki.ivoa.net/internal/IVOA/MediaGroup/ivoa_portal_discussion_20171215.pdf" target="_blank">http://wiki.ivoa.net/<wbr>internal/IVOA/MediaGroup/ivoa_<wbr>portal_discussion_20171215.pdf</a>.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">To kick-off the website rework, we thought the CSP and Media Group should have a joint meeting to discuss the new IVOA front page and website updates in general. This first meeting would be to discuss what should be on the front page, e.g., what information is most important to highlight to visitors, what links to include, how should we organize the front page, and making the material easier to jump into as a non-VO person.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Please fill in the Doodle poll for times you are available to talk: <span style="font-size:small"><a href="https://doodle.com/poll/dx9ucp6ice5v2rs2">https://doodle.com/poll/dx9ucp6ice5v2rs2</a>.
