<br>
Many thanks for sending the draft front page, I think it's a great
start!<br>
<br>
Here are some inputs to your questions:<span class=""><br>
<br>
<div>1. Does the layout match the expectations laid out at our
last meeting? Is there any content missing you think should be
there?</div>
</span><div><span class=""> - Missing currently: menu bar, header image, footer
navigation, a short IVOA description?<br>
<br></span>
I think we definitely need an About link, and/or a 'What is the
VO?' link (which is frequently asked by first time visitors).
This could fit in a menu bar or footer.<br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, I agree we need a link to an "About the IVOA" and "What is the VO?" links easily seen somewhere.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div class="m_6450319040341679776moz-cite-prefix"><div>

One request that came from the Exec last year was to add the
@IVOAastro twitter feed (embed the timeline). Unfortunately, these
normally do not cover the whole width of a web page, so I don't
see easily how it can fit into the current web design? Perhaps we
don't add it since it can't be viewed in all countries? Maybe some
of the news that are announced in the first two blocks link
directly to the relevant news posted in our social media sites? </div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This is a good point I forgot to cover in the layout. Maybe we could put it next to the "technical news" announcements at the top? Something like what's on the "ivoa website" Google doc now (attached in previous emails).</div><div><br></div><div>Since Twitter isn't available everywhere, perhaps we could show either WeChat or Twitter feeds in that box, depending on the client's general location? Not sure how that would work, but I imagine that can be done somehow...</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div class="m_6450319040341679776moz-cite-prefix"> <br>
<br>
header image idea: mosaic of colour images, of selected imaging
data in the VO, spanning from x-ray to radio (could be created
from colour HiPS)?</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That Great, thanks. Shan-shan, we had talked about creating a banner at the Jan telecon. Is this something you think you could take a stab at during the Interop next week? </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div class="m_6450319040341679776moz-cite-prefix"><span class=""><br>

I prefer a dark background like your Chandra website

I have very little experience in web development, I hope someone
else can help who does have experience!<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Media Group and CSP,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As an action from yesterday's telecon, here is a
screenshot of the *draft* front page I was working on. It's
mostly just the information we talked about from our meeting
in January -- I didn't work out colors / fonts at all. But I
used the wireframe we made on this Google doc as a reference
for the front page layout: <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1fz49i6c_DaoyoZ81RPiDaHWGHfnb2UbW_9nOmIJdd2A/edit#slide=id.g327bd6a3f5_0_0" target="_blank">https://docs.google.<wbr>com/presentation/d/1fz49i6c_<wbr>DaoyoZ81RPiDaHWGHfnb2UbW_<wbr>9nOmIJdd2A/edit#slide=id.<wbr>g327bd6a3f5_0_0</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> - The first image bar shows technical news (new
standards, new archive releases, upcoming abstract/meeting
deadlines, etc). The idea was to make it into small boxes,
showing a couple announcements at a time.</div>
<div> - The second, larger image block is a slider of the
latest science news that the more general scientist may be
interested in. This is a dynamic slider made from wordpress
posts. We could also make our own news slider from an RSS
feed.</div>
<div> - The bottom part is the "information portal" with the
important / popular links, sending visitors to the right
places.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I made the pages with a local Wordpress install on my
laptop since the free test Wordpress blog we made in Santiago
doesn't allow one to install plugins or edit the CSS / PHP
files. However, this may not have been the best way to go, as
I'm having trouble exporting this site to HTML to send to you
all... I'll work on getting the site exported, but I'll also
try working on the test site to see if we can get news sliders
on it to show at the Interop. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>**For those who have experience in web development, please
speak up! I'd like to get the front page in a format we can
send to people to view locally on their computers, or on a
test site (e.g., the free Wordpress blog).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In summary, here's what I'm looking for:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. Does the layout match the expectations laid out at our
last meeting? Is there any content missing you think should
be there?</div>
<div> - Missing currently: menu bar, header image, footer
navigation, a short IVOA description?</div>
<div> - Any layout / color ideas?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. People to help work on getting a working front page for
the Interop meeting</div>
<div> - e.g., self-contained site that we can package and
send around, test Wordpress site, any other ideas?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3. Comments / questions / concerns?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'll be on the #media Slack channel if anyone wants to have
a more interactive conversation, too. <a href="https://ivoa.slack.com/messages/media" target="_blank">https://ivoa.slack.com/<wbr>messages/media</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Lastly, apologies for procrastinating the website revamp
organization. I appreciate everyone's inputs from meetings
and emails, and I'm happy we're getting back to business for
the Interop. Looking forward to seeing you all in person soon!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks and warm regards,</div>
<div>Jamie</div>
