Subject: Re: [chairs] New OASIS TC Descriptions
Carol, I sense I'm fumbling around in the dark here trying to find where the light switch is.... Could we have a test URL so we can see before-hand what this new site frontend and TC L-n-F will be? I've just reviewed several front-doors for TC's I'm involved with - and the front end blurb contains such useful things as - Executive Brochure link; Tutorial / Overview PPT; and Current Public draft of specification. It would also be useful to have access to search engine keywords as embedded metatags. If this is all going to disappear - we need to understand where else that might be - and how we can populate it... Thanks, DW ================================================================= Carol Geyer wrote: >OASIS TC chairs: > >OASIS will soon be making web site changes to enhance navigation and make it >easier for visitors to locate TCs by category (in addition to the current >alpha list), highlight our approved work, identify TCs involved in related >areas, and educate visitors on the breadth of OASIS development efforts. > >The first step in making that change is to standardize the way we describe >our TCs, i.e., the text that appears in the yellow box on each TC's >homepage.
