| - | * FYI Webalizer [[http://www.sluug.org/hitreport/ | report]]. | ||
| - | * 2011-01 Mike Knight's emails regarding web site. | ||
| - | * Stan R changed the copyright dates. | ||
| - | * Good idea to list other Open Source friendly resources. | ||
| - | * On a separate page from our own SIGs. | ||
| - | * Sites like WITS, CVillage, Arch Reactor, 2600. | ||
| - | * Our site layout has not changed for years. | ||
| - | * Would take some effort to re-do it, and seems to be working for most people. | ||
| - | * 2011-02 Stan R hasn't gotten around to building new resources page, yet. | ||
| - | * Noticed .PNG file doesn't show up on old county library browsers. Do we have .JPG file anywhere? | ||
| - | * Not discussed during IRC meeting. | ||
| - | * 2011-03 No change. | ||
| - | * 2011-04 No change. | ||

| - | * It would be good to get resumption of archiving at Wayback. | ||

| - | * 2012-05 Gary M suggests calendar page to highlight OUR, i.e. SLUUG's mtngs. | ||
| - | * After all, part of the idea of maintaining the calendar is to drive traffic to our own mtngs! | ||
| - | * Could be highlights on the Google calendar itself &/or additional 1-2 lines written outside the Google calendar. | ||
| - | * Lee pointed out that advanced users may pull RSS that would not see the "off-Google" lines. | ||

| - | * Ryan Dowell volunteered (in August) to code magic to automatically pull in Calendar items. Gary to follow up. | ||
| - | * Troubleshooting over 3 day period removed errant extra web entries from SIU. | ||
| - | * Some buffering problems remain that disappear when browser clients are rebooted. | ||

| - | * 2014-07 | ||
| - | * Nothing to report, life is getting in the way. | ||
| - | * Lee added our YouTube channel to the SLUUG.ORG home page list of resources. | ||
| - | * 2014-08 No movement. | ||
| - | * 2014-09-29 | ||
| - | * With some nudging, Andrew will work on SLUUG site again | ||
| - | * 2014-11-03 | ||
| - | * No nudging received so nothing more than uploaded presentations happened. | ||
| - | * 2014-12-01 | ||
| - | * Stan R. rebuilt [[http://snug.sluug.org/|SNUG]] web page making it similar to STLLUG web page design. | ||

| - | * FYI Webalizer [[http://www.sluug.org/hitreport/ | report]]. | + | |
| - | * Both Noah Lance and Craig Buchek have worked on "new" web pages in the past. | + | |
| - | * 2014-03: Scott Granneman indicated our current web site sucks for mobile users. | + | |
| - | * He proposed we switch over to using their service for minimal monthly fee. | + | |
| - | * They would redesign the site for us and host on their CMS. | + | |
| - | * Learning to manage content on their CMS shouldn't be significant. | + | |
| - | * Harry (John) Hodges of Graybar offered assistance. | + | |
| - | * 2014-03: Our needs: | + | |
| - | * We have 2 web sites that we need to update. | + | |
| - | * Better appearance | + | |
| - | * Especially on mobile | + | |
| - | * Easier to maintain | + | |
| - | * Web interface | + | |
| - | * Easier for multiple people to edit | + | |
| - | * Our on-going issue is finding people to find the time to help. | + | |
| - | * 2014-03: Andrew's proposal: | + | |
| - | * First, redesign static content of existing site(s) | + | |
| - | * LUG first, then UUG page | + | |
| - | * Using Bootstrap CSS framework (helps with mobile) | + | |
| - | * Second, use Monstra (static site builder with no DB required) | + | |
| - | * 2014-03: Steering committee decided to go with Andrew's proposal for now. | + | |
| - | * Keeps our current hosting. | + | |
| - | * Smaller incremental changes, that we're more comfortable with. | + | |
| - | * More done by our members. | + | |
| - | * 2014-08 No movement. | + | |
| - | * 2014-11-03 | + | |

| - | * Stan R. took it from STEERCOM to SLAAC. | + | |
