>Proposed Structure of the New (improved?) Neither Web Site
I think you would do better to let the site improve by gradual evolution
rather than by trying to design the perfect site in one go. Just add to,
change, or subtract from what you already have as new ideas emerge.
>Basic Structure
>
>Start Page (neither homepage)
Needs to begin with some compelling statements that will grab the interest
of a first-time visitor.
> Members' Pages
> Email Lists
> Media Releases
> About Neither
> General Information
> Contact Information
> Site Map
> Links to other sites
As a counter proposal, I would suggest:
Summary and link to Current issue 1
Summary and link to Current issue 2
Summary and link to Current issue 3
etc
About Neither (Summary and link)
Contact Information
Link to Email lists
Link to links page
Link to members page
Link to media releases
Link to site map
>Members' Page
> links to:
> Members
> links to alphabetical list of members' pages
> Regional Groups
> links to alphabetical list of regional groups'
>pages
> Issue Groups
> links to issue groups' pages in chronological
>order
I don't believe all those subdivisions will be needed for some considerable
time. I think we would be better off without them until the need develops,
just including relevant links in the overall links page.

OK

As these will be largely static and history pages why not just leave them as
separate html pages all in the one folder?

Just put this on the home page until it gets big enough to need a page of
its own.
>Site Map

Low priority... should not be strictly necessary if the overall layout is
logical
>Links to other sites

OK
Take the above for whatever it's worth.
