Review of Russ's site map and ideas about _what_ koha.org is: 1. it's a place that appeals to those in libraries making decisions about library systems 2. it's a resource for developers b. we're going to put case studies up (DIY case studies like NPL as well as 'supported' case studies from software support providers: we'll have a framework for easily adding more case studies c. addressed tension between the koha.org site and the sites of companies who offer services around koha; we need to keep koha.org as vendor neutral as possible to attract more vendors d. "Showcase" section of koha.org will include links to 'official koha demos' as well as vendor demos (to showcase what vendor support can produce) e. We're going to have an official blog but for now we'll just aggrogate existing developer blogs from the homepage f. add links to presentations folks have done on Koha; as well as upcoming events where Koha will be showcased and links to arguments _for_ open source in libraries g. design process: rach and russ will rework the site map based on our meeting and will make some wireframes they will also. russ and shaun will get a 'content delivery schedule to divvy up the jobs. shaun will continue to work on his design. (Added later) Irma will proofread and do QA on the website. 2/. Koha Interfaces a. we will break up templates into 'programmer templates and 'official koha templates' b. programmer templates are just stripped-down templates for testing/demonstrating functionality c. 'official koha templates' are crafted using design principles: beauty, usability, standards compliance, accessibility (PDA, screen readers, etc.), color coordination, graphical appeal, etc. d. NPL templates will be used as design models, but default templates will be redesigned. e. there was some brief discussion of using kea for template design 3/.
