Subject: RE: [chairs] New OASIS website layout - categories
I completely agree. The public page is targeting users that know
nothing or
very little about the technical committees that work within
various
categories presented. It will require some trial and error to find
the
appropriate group of interest.
As a member of Tax XML TC for example,
I would consider tax to be a part of
e-Commerce, Supply Chain Management, and
e-Government, which is listed as
an Industry Domain (is government and
industry by the way). Tax is actually
under Law and Government, go
figure...
Just a few observations.
Regards,
Michael
Roytman.

We
shouln't need to rely on a mouse-over. IMHO, UI design that
requires
non-accessible clues (i.e., non ADA compliant) usually indocates a
deeper
problem. . .

Yes! I was quite surprised by it and had to
guess the probable location
of my TCs.
If the categories confuse those
of us in OASIS, I can only imagine their
impact on visitors and more
importantly, potential members.
A 'mouse-over' that shows the TCs in each
category and the categories in
alphabetical order would be an
improvement.
Hope everyone is having a great
day!
