For the past two years, members of the Evergreen Community Web Team
have been working on planning for the future of the Evergreen
website. We've conducted community surveys, analyzed the existing
website's usage statistics, consulted with key community groups such
as developers and oversight board members, and issued repeated
requests for feedback, comments, and volunteer assistance. <br>
---<br>
You can learn more about the work that we've done, as well as see
the results of our surveys and documentation efforts, at the
Evergreen Web Team page:<br>

Most recently, we've been working on a prototype website, located at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://drupal.evergreen-ils.com">http://drupal.evergreen-ils.com</a>, which we'll use as a foundation for
building the future Evergreen website. This prototype is based on
the very popular Drupal content management system, chosen because of
its broad feature set, widespread support, and existing Drupal skill
set in the Web Team.<br>
---<br>
Right now, we're building a website that will help community members
find the information they need easily. On the back end, we're
building a system that will allow as many community members as
possible to become active contributors and easily keep Evergreen
info up-to-date. We're also exploring systems that will allow
community members to communicate and collaborate with each other via
the website.<br>
---<br>
And we need your help! We're working on making the first phase of
our new website live this winter and the website is fairly large.
If you'd like to help us work on building a great new website for
this community, just join the Evergreen Web Team mailing list here

<div>Do you have a plan for the IRC meeting on Friday? I'd like
to make sure we have some blocks of text ready to deliver so the
meeting goes quickly. </div>

</div>
<div>And FYI, at the Oversight Board meeting there was a general
feeling that we should move this project along quickly.
Meaning...there isn't really any doubt about people wanting
this to be the future of the Evergreen website. So we probably
need to think strategically about how we can most effectively
move forward, get the bones of this website as close to ready as
can, involve more people as much as possible, and start moving
content. The sooner this can be the face of Evergreen, the
better....that's my impression.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Given that....what do we want to say, ask for, promise at the
meeting?</div>
