05 Sep 06 Web Editorial Board Updates – August 2006

August 2006

In addition to overseeing the usability assessment project (see Usability Study), the Web Editorial Board ( WEB ) has developed plans for a members-only “landing page” that will be implemented in stages over the next few months. The WEB has also sketched out a plan for revising the layout of the home page to accommodate changes that have pushed the “Spotlight” section “below the fold.” This rearrangement has been put on hold pending the completion of the usability study. The WEB recently launched a wiki to gather information from across the Association regarding social networking. This was prompted when it was discovered that numerous units of the organization were planning websites, blogs and wikis on this topic. The WEB has also developed an online community to collect and share information about the group’s work. Jenny Levine has been added as a member of the WEB.
