IVOA Web Doc Hackathon at the Nov 2023 Interop, Tucson, AZ, USA

Saturday November 11 2023 11:00-12:30, Room: Steward (N 210)

This session invites participants to work together to review some key areas of the IVOA website at ivoa.net in a live "hackathon" format. We are seeking to improve the overall quality of the site by identifying specific problems such as obsolete information, incorrect or broken links, and other issues or areas in need of improvement. Bring your laptops and help us review the site and compile a list of changes for the web admins to use in correcting these issues, and helping to improve the IVOA community!

A folder has been set up in Google Drive with some worksheets that will be used during the session to gather notes and suggestions. Details below.
