Changes proposed based comments to draft as shown at Victoria Interop 2005-05-19

Home

• Remove calendar and news from Home page
• Fix order of top bar to be in the same order as graphic representation at bottom. Make sure this order change is reflected on all the sub pages too.
• Add "Home" button to top bar per Evanthia. It's not obvious that the words "International Virtual Observatory Alliance" are a link.

About

• Remove document links on "what-is-ivoa" except first and third
• Link only to the latest technical roadmap on "ivoa-roadmap"
• On "wg-contacts" add column to table with the descriptive name of the mailing list. Link should go to the archives with a link at the top on how to subscribe.
• On "members" change VO UK to AstroGrid, United Kingdom
• Changes to Chair, vice chair, etc. for "contacts"
• Add ESA and ESO to "member-organizations"

Members

• Add link to a list of all documents & standards (all versions, as it is now)
• Working Group page (same as the About file) needs to reflect changes to working groups as sent by Paolo:
  • Merge VOQL with DAL
  • Add Liaison Committee
  • Add Science Priorities Committee
    

Deployers

• TOC update:
  • Current list of Standards (list + graphically. ONLY most recent approved documents)
  • Software for Deployers (based on euro-vo page)
  • Data Publishing: Worked Example
  • Application Writing: Worked Example
  • Acronyms in Use (Sarah - start with NVO book glossary)

Astronomers

• Add link to "students & amateurs"
• VO Tools & Portals - (list - Sarah - based on euro-vo page)
  

General:

• Add a contact link to the bottom of each page. Perhaps change the copyright IVOA into a mailto link to ivoadoc@ivoa.net.

Issues Pending:

• Not sure where news and calendar fit in any more. Are they really just aimed at our members, or is it/can it be broader than that?
• Name change to Members section. I think Members sounds fine and not exclusionary, so I have no alternate suggestions.
• I'm not sure I understand the Keith suggestions for the Members page. I need a whiteboard drawing! :)
• Evanthia suggests links to VO papers. Not sure we are going to take over keeping this list, although we do use it in the Newsletter.
• Evanthia also suggests splitting the Vocabulary/Acronym Glossary into one for deployers, and for astronomers.
