[Evergreen-web-team] Changes to Primary Nav on Evergreen-ILS.org

[Ben Shum]

Hi Lori,

One small problem:

It'll be easy enough to create an additional drop down menu choice for 
"User/Regional Groups" under the current menu options, but we do not 
seem to have an end point to direct that link to in any of the email 
correspondence so far.  I found on the dokuwiki, this page for 
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=user_groups , but it could 
probably use some editing first before it could be used as a landing 
page for people looking to find / create their own user groups.  
Alternatively, if the "User/Regional Groups" page is actually intended 
to be an entirely brand new page that will become a static part of the 
website, then we will also need wording, etc. to create that.

To clarify for others who've asked, the original message thread 
containing some of the proposed changes for the navigation bar 
originated with these messages:  
http://markmail.org/message/mc3ymptwo7ivw4ia

Since there's a scheduled web team meeting tomorrow, maybe we can 
discuss some of the necessary steps to move forward then?
