Subject: OASIS Website updates and down-times
OASIS Members, There are some exciting changes coming soon to the OASIS website and infrastructure that will improve the look and feel, navigation as well as the overall site performance and stability. Below are details of when you can expect downtime for the transition and what improvements you can expect. Website updates: The public information pages, such as www.oasis-open.org, have been redesigned to improve navigability to key resources and to give the site a more modern look and feel. The redesign resulted from input from web-design experts including Laurent Liscia, and feedback from hundreds of viewers in our home-page survey. The improvements include: -More prominent placement of links for Committees and Standards -New "I want to" drop-down menu that helps people find information relevant to their specific needs -a content-management infrastructure, which will enable us to update the site more easily, better support translated content, and add functionality over time. -New TC Category tags that can be easily expanded This first set of changes impact only the public information pages. Until we complete the TC workspace upgrade later this year, you will note that the workspace will retain the old OASIS look and feel with which you've been familiar. Scheduled website down-times: 11 April- There will be ~1 hour down-time after 6 pm EDT to facilitate hardware upgrades. Members and the public will notice: a. All member section sites (www.ws-i-oasis-open.org, etc) events.oasis-open.org and xml.org will be down b. all tools residing on tools.oasis-open.org (wiki, JIRA, SVN, TC Templates) will not be available c. all assets behind www.oasis-open.org and lists.oasis-open.org will remain functional, including all workspace and mail list activities 16 April- www.oasis-open.org will be updated. The work is expected to take 6 hours, starting at 10 am EDT. During this work, the site will display a "maintenance mode" message and may deliver the user intermittent unexpected performance delays, behaviors. I recommend you do not expect to use the OASIS site during maintenance and pursue other "less interesting" Saturday morning activities -i.e.: go shopping, spend time with your family, wash your car, wash my car, take a walk in the park, visit a museum, etc. All other web and mail system assets will remain functional during this maintenance work. Going forward: The new website has a "send feedback" link in the footer. Please use this to tell us what you think about the website design and implementation, especially if you find something that does not perform as you expect. There is a selection for website feedback mechanism in the feedback tool that will guide your feedback. Watch for future email announcements and updates posted to http://www.oasis-open.org/members/ detailing further infrastructure updates. As always, feel free to contact me with question or concerns, or just to tell me what you think about these improvements.
