Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] adding a page to the wiki
Here's what I propose for changing the Menus on the Evergreen Home page. Instead of Communicate and Contribute, we make them Community and Contribute. Here's what I think should be under Community: Mailing Lists Official Blog Community Blogs Users Groups (note new addition) Calendar Under Contribute: Develop Code Report Bugs Developer Chatroom (note new language and new position on menu) Donate to Evergreen (note this is slightly different language) Committees and Working Groups Request Feature (note new language) Thoughts?

Hi Gordana, Just to clarify, you and Lori are referring to the navigation menu options on the main Evergreen website? I think it's a great idea to modify those areas to include references to a User Group page including the one you've started up.
