TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL

Rich and all,

I will cover all of the questions at the website training this upcoming Thursday 6/4/09 at 5:30 PM, right before the regular meeting.

Meanwhile, here's a list of things that I did to improve new website:

• I found that Drupal has a lack of partial words search. Searching of "sandwich" did not return any hits, because only words used were "sandwiches". Big miss in the original codebase. I fixed it by patching Drupal core code. Now you can search any sub-word (down to 3 letters).
• To complain of anything not working on the website there are few standard paths - 1. Click contact and select "website feedback" - you will get an online form, If that does not work, use 2. Email webmaster. Link is in the footer. If that is not working either - 3. Send Ilya a quick email.
• To have a chat with online participants the best method is to post a topic in the forum. Of course participants will have to log in and post responses.
• There is now a new section in the left menu - "Board Area". I added your page to that section. You must be logged in to see that item on the menu. Non-board members would not normally see this, even if logged in. More details at the training.
• If a new page is not inserted into any menus upon creation, it won't show up in navigation. Best way to find it is to open "Recent posts" item on the left menu.
