Latest revision as of 18:21, 8 February 2012

Agenda

Any items awaiting approval that don't receive objections within 7 days after being proposed will be considered approved and assigned a priority level.

Top Priority

These items should be taken care of as soon as possible.

High Priority

• Create a footer for the website and move the Hackerspaces, Elsewhere, and Search from the sidebar to the footer.
• Remove the Contribute page and replace with a Partners page that gives information on the benefits of providing discounts to our members, statistics about web and foot traffic, examples of current partnerships, and sponsorship information.
• Add a Press page that lists external articles about Interlock. Include a link to a press kit that has high resolution versions of the logo with white, black, and transparent backgrounds.
• Update verbiage on the RocWiki page.

Low Priority

• Create colored icons for each category type (events, classes, news, etc.), placed either to the left of the title or floated left of the first paragraph.
• Create a web interface to the LDAP server with functionality to allow for business partners to check the status of members. Add access to this under the Partners page.
• Figure out why the Flickr gallery displays pictures in a seemingly random order at seemingly random times.

No Priority

• Cache 3-5 of the upcoming events in the Google Calendar locally so there isn't such a long load time, or implement an animated gear loading icon.
• Change the index to be more of a landing page with just the first paragraphs from the latest 3-5 blog posts, a featured project, a more expanded definition of the hackerspace, and a more stylized upcoming events with a short one-liner description and direct links to a related blog post.
• Template the wiki to match the main site.

Awaiting Approval

Parentheses indicate suggested priority.

Unapproved

Completed

• The current Wordpress theme is now heavily customized and should be renamed to prevent any accidental updates through the WP dashboard, which would reset all of these modifications.
• Create a dev environment for testing new versions of Wordpress and plugins.
• Rewrite some sections from the About page, and update the membership benefits to include specifics on discounts.
• Remove the member dues from the sidebar and make a new page that contains the membership application, agreement, and dues. (Note: Moved to About page instead.)
• Include a banner picture in the header or a rotating image at the top of the sidebar.
• Prevent the Flickr Gallery plugin's scripts and styles from loading on anything but the Photos page.
• Concatenate all external CSS and JS files. (Note: Instead, prevented all the scripts/styles in the Flickr Gallery plugin from loading on every page.)
• Add a Sponsors or Partners section on the sidebar with 2 100x100 logos per line. Links should open in a new page.
• Reorganize the contact page and integrate a Google map into the page.
• Add a hack to fix the Chrome bug that makes dotted borders disappear on elements taller than 4096px.
• Fix CSS issue that causes double borders on the Flickr gallery.
