After having finished this we can think about designing... (the group is too big to just start designing, we need agreements first on content and goals, then we can start designing. This should result in nobody complaining about missing features etc. in the design, and enable us to focus purely on design instead of page-features (which makes designing horrible ("could you add that?" and "euh, I miss...")). Design proposals should first be judged on how well they meet the requirements, and then we can discuss the aesthetic qualities. > and really just go back to dealing with a "User Portal" for now, > > and THEN see how to link it in to the home page, or THEN redesign the > home page to deal with it. Well, actually I suggest to not think about "user portal", "home page", "why? page", but to think about the end user in general. Three efforts that are targeted at the same user, that is confusing. To me portal=homepage=why-page ... > And, I do believe the wiki is a somewhat better means of doing this > rather than e-mail back and forth. Well yes, unless there is of course disagreement, we should agree at some moment on requirements (and I hope people here don't get too scared when hearing this word, it is nothing formal, you may also read "wish list" where you see requirements ;) ) g., Maarten --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
