NEW STUFF

Brochureware
Seems there are ways to go about this. 1. have crabgrass do it. 2. create a stand alone site as fancy and compelling as we want it to be with a login to crabgrass.

Using Crabgrass

  • can be addressed using a group and public pages
  • need to rework public page – no side bar – nicer layout
  • rework group homepage: for conference info click here —> then you go to the brochureware group whose homepage has a bunch of info and links.

Graceful Degradation Hifi vs Lowfi
Hifi vs Lowfi

  • cross browser compatiablity
  • low bandwith: making it light weight is ok, but no-java script requirement is not phase 1
  • (cell phone and non-java script browser – low bandwidth -phase 2 – huge project)

Internationalization

Branding

  • homepage design
  • colors and logo on each page

Homepage (splash and login page)

  • a tweaked group home page
  • might require some hefty design / css reworknig

Internal Forum
