Lets move forward on small incremental changes. Lets all keep an eye out for websites we like that we would want to mimic. Thats often the easiest way forward.

please add to this with specific ideas, as soon as we have a mockup i will issues in a tracker (redmine,or maybe github), break out the dev tasks and solicit help. i have 2 confirmed django folks ready to rock, and have contacts with the co-creater of the framework.

We need a press bar similar to the media bar with options for inputting a request for a press release and requests to be added to our press list

who would be able to input a request for a press release? that seems like an internal need, no?

Question for django devs:

  • what sort of carousal options and forum options are there for django. we need kick ass forms that allow the good shit to rise to the top
  • what are good options for ways of displaying rich media like video and photo carousals. ideally these would pull / embedd from other sources like flickr, etc.
  • do we know anyone who is good with front end / css and django templates?
  • can we use dropdowns in the nav that function cross platform, including mobile?

re: rich media carousels s

We have used both of these carousels w/in Django:

sorgalla.com/jcarousel
imageflow.finnrudolph.de

Nothing django specific about them, but easy to integrate w/ django templates. You can see these in action here:

blackrock.ccnmtl.columbia.edu/portal and blackrock.ccnmtl.columbia.edu/portal/fo...

I am pretty sure they are friendly to images from across the web. Let me know if you see anything you like, and I can easily share this code.

Daniel and I talked about the following changes tonight possible:

- Fixed width (allow to size down)

- Linking to allies in tiny ticker bar on top (like what reddit does at top of page)

- Moving contact info to footer rather than side bar

- A “Get Involved” section

Re: “get involved” section -

Not sure if you ran across this project downtown, but #ows has an hr dept now:

invertedsoapbox.com/2011/10/17/unemploy...

Not sure if this website is appropriate to plug this from occupywallst.org, but at least some of questions might be appropriate visionaries.co/contribute

About the newsletter. The idea is to send mails every week/month/when ? Or when an article is posted?

not sure gaba, not when an article is posted. our content team is a little weak right now, need to organize it.
