Great to see so much enthusiasm for a website and associated tools. Before we go too far down the road of tool selection would anyone care to draw up a requirements specification? What do we want the website to look like and what do we want it do for us? Some from me would include:
Shopfront where you can buy stuff (like HiViz jackets, branded merchandise etc) Non-tech mappers should find it easy to contribute Navigation and screen layout should be for long-term ease of use, i.e crisp and clean and simple not layered with masses of complexity Any fancy code should be kept to a minimum for ease of maintenance and should be documented and available so we don't fall into the trap down the line where we're dependent on one person and we're snookered when that person moves on for whatever reason (bitter experience speaking here) Perhaps we have an initial "quick and dirty" website just to announce "We're here" once we're registered at Companies House, whilst we build the one we really want. Where have we got to with domain name? And while we're at it - does anyone fancy organising a logo design competition? Or just design a few logos for us to choose one? I think we're probably at the stage for someone to lead this and gather some volunteer collaborators. Forgive me if someone already volunteered to do this - it's some time since our last concall.
