Hi Lori,
One small problem:
It'll be easy enough to create an additional drop down menu choice for
"User/Regional Groups" under the current menu options, but we do not
seem to have an end point to direct that link to in any of the email
correspondence so far. I found on the dokuwiki, this page for
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=user_groups , but it could
probably use some editing first before it could be used as a landing
page for people looking to find / create their own user groups.
Alternatively, if the "User/Regional Groups" page is actually intended
to be an entirely brand new page that will become a static part of the
website, then we will also need wording, etc. to create that.
To clarify for others who've asked, the original message thread
containing some of the proposed changes for the navigation bar
originated with these messages:
http://markmail.org/message/mc3ymptwo7ivw4ia
Since there's a scheduled web team meeting tomorrow, maybe we can
discuss some of the necessary steps to move forward then?

With the announcement of another Evergreen regional group on the
general mailing list, I'm inspired to nag about some changes we agreed
to make to the primary navigation on evergreen-ils.org
<http://evergreen-ils.org> in order to clarify some things and make
room for these regional groups to live. We agreed (several weeks ago)
that the "Communicate" menu should be changed to "Community" and the
items under that menu would include:
_Community _
Chat
Mailing Lists
Official Blog
Community Blogs
User Groups (should be call this Regional/User Groups?)
Calendar
_
_
We also made some changes to the items under 'Contribute' as follows:
_Contribute_
Develop Code
Report Bugs
Donate to Evergreen
Committees and Working Groups
Request Feature
As I recall, the idea of changing things around this way ended up
being a bit more complicated that one might have first thought (per
Ben Shum's investigation into the issue). Recognizing that problem,
I'd like to hear what we could do to at least move the idea forward a
baby step.
Could we add "User/Regional Groups" to the dropdown menu now labelled
"Communicate" without causing any trouble?
Could we remove the RSCEL link under Quick Links after that?
And then, as possible, could someone identify what it would take to
rename "Communicate" to "Community"? Maybe some of us can help with
the content moves that will be required.
