Today is an anniversary, but a sad one. It is a year ago that Quanta's
website went down. The last structural update occurred on 25th July 2010.
With all respect to Quanta they must now ask themselves a simple
question. If they have not be able to sort out the problems with the
Content Management System (CMS) in 12 months, will they ever sort them
out?
The matter has gained a urgency now that Quanta is paying £300 p.a. for
its website, but getting no return on the investment. Bluntly that is
over £75 of members' money down the drain since the AGM.
I would ask Quanta now to scrap the CMS and urgently set up a simple
temporary site to give them a web presence. If they want to continue
experimenting with the CMS then they can set up a shadow site on their
domain for committee members and testers only.
And can I suggest they avoid the staid maiden aunt style of the old site,
but put something on the front page to attract members and non-members?
Dilwyn's QL news pages for example,
Best Wishes,
Geoff

I received myNEMQLUG, reminder,
"Thursday July 28th.2011 is the date of our next get-together. Things will
be just a bit different this month. This month Sarah has invited the
QUANTA Committee over for the evening . . . . ".
Perhaps they will get your message .
Even better I shall be there in person! Sarah has told me a different story,
but I won't spoil the surprise,
Best Wishes,
Geoff
