  • a) those that will focus on fixing and maintaining the site: Paul and Jeff
  • b) those that will focus on adding or revamping features: Francis, Bill, Alan and Geoff
  • c) those that will focus on improving the look and layout: *** volunteer needed

discuss website management issues and current tasks, including: 
  • a) fixing known feature problems. 
  • b) documenting how webmasters maintain the current site.

  • d) completing unfinished features, e.g. participants "rating"

discuss and plan for future website development, including:
  • a) agreeing on and prioritizing the addition of new features... 
    • automating "repeat" volunteer tasks such as monthly reports. 
    • simplifying or streamlining volunteer and member data entry tasks.

    • adding a simple version of Werner's partner list to the website.
  • b)  agreeing on and prioritizing visual/content changes to pages/emails ...
