Re: [Mpls] city web site

[Lisa McDonald]

I'll do you better. How about three.   1. A listing of all staff phone numbers and e-mail addresses. The city already has the info in its own city directory so it should be transferable to the web.   2. A more up-to-date listing of the committee meetings. Today I went on-line and for the Community Development Committee there were notes on the 16th of September meeting but nothing on the upcoming meeting.   3. I think all the pictures of the mayor on the city web site other than a head shot should be taken off. I think they border on using a city web site for political promotion and aren't appropriate. I notice none of the council members have promotional photos on their web sites.   Lisa McDonald East Harriet   ----- Original Message ----- From: SClift Mobile Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 10:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Mpls] city web site   Let's make this a useful experience ... Name two specific changes you would like to see on the city web site. Share links to two web sites (perhaps other city government web sites) that our city should emulate. The U of M has a new web usability lab.  Perhaps the city can create a partnership with them.  The mayor and a few city council members should be on the other side of the glass for a couple of hours and simply watch members of the public attempt to complete a set of typical tasks.  Only with real political understanding of the sites use and importance will the resources and sense of priority required manifest itself.
