Thanks, Ben. Yes, let's discuss tomorrow. My thought was this would be brand spankin' new page so we can come up with the layout and language for it tomorrow. Obviously, the expectation is that it will evolve organically once we get it started.<div>

Hi Lori,<br>
<br>
One small problem:<br>
<br>
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
<a href="http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=user_groups" target="_blank">http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=user_groups</a>
, 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.<br>
<br>
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:
<a href="http://markmail.org/message/mc3ymptwo7ivw4ia" target="_blank">http://markmail.org/message/mc3ymptwo7ivw4ia</a><br>
<br>
Since there's a scheduled web team meeting tomorrow, maybe we can
discuss some of the necessary steps to move forward then?<br>

groups to live. We agreed (several weeks ago) that the
"Communicate" menu should be changed to "Community" and the items

As I recall, the idea of changing things around this way
ended up being a bit more complicated that one might have
first thought (per Ben Shum's investigation into the issue).
Recognizing that problem, I'd like to hear what we could do
to at least move the idea forward a baby step.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Could we add "User/Regional Groups" to
the dropdown menu now labelled "Communicate" without causing
any trouble?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
Could we remove the RSCEL link under Quick Links after that?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And then, as possible, could someone
identify what it would take to rename "Communicate" to
"Community"? Maybe some of us can help with the content
moves that will be required.</p>
