= Web Team Meeting =

Minutes
Attendance
 * xoph
 * skyfaller
 * ibm5_25
 * cwilkin
 * mllerustad

Before-meeting chatter
 * bios of Board members on the About page, with headshots
 * meetings are now open ("hey! look! minutes!!")
 * should they be announced on the blog?
 * or just the mailing lists?

Meeting
 * tasks assigned should be written down in minutes and each person should add their tasks to the bugtracker
 * meeting goes haywire for various reasons
 * cwilkn ends meeting half and hour early so everyone can go bugfixing

Web Team specific

 * tidy up the URIs on the Wiki (but make sure they're backwards-compatible so that any old links still work): what if it was simply "wiki.freeculture.org/2006-03-22"?
 * GNU FDL vs. Creative Commons on Wiki text (what about FC.o site itself --- is there even any licensing info on there?)
 * this was on the old todo
 * Stable URIs throughout the website (to prevent broken links)
 * See this W3C page
 * also note what they say about extensions (.php, .xhtml, etc.)

From the Board...

 * Full page aggregator for all of our chapters, a la Planet Planet
 * Also, a Planet-style aggregator for everyone's personal blog who is involved with FreeCulture.org, see Planet Beagle for a good example.
 * And an aggregator for general free culture news, perhaps to live on FreeCulture.net?


 * Enable enclosures on the main FreeCulture.org blog, start using it to podcast audio and video, with separate feeds for the audio and video categories.
 * Add a dynamic map of our chapters, produced from the database
 * User: ibm5_25:
 * could this have pop-ups like Google Maps with useful info?
 * Install multi-user Wordpress, so that we can create blogs on demand
 * Install multi-user Mediawiki, so that we can create wikis on demand


 * Update the front page to look a little more like this, although perhaps without the sidebar, and obviously prettier than this hand-drawn sketch. This will require much writing of content.

New Business

 * The chapters page could use, aside from a graphic overhaul, some more work
 * links to chapter blogs/websites/wikis
 * why do we have a Chapters Wiki page and a chapters FC.o page?
 * volunteer to merge Campus_groups and Chapters?

= General Meeting =

Meeting Minutes

 * FC submitting anything to Wikimania ([for the 2006 Conference in August])?
 * submission ideas (under "Free Knowledge and Access to Information")
 * panel (5 people req'd)
 * presentation (1 person req'd) probably better because less people - what FC.o has done; is gearing up to do; what chapters typically do?


 * Press Team (to write press releases and distribute them; keep an eye on press FC.o gets; talk to press when Nelson is busy)
 * there is a mailing list, left over from the last attempt to form a team but it is inactive
 * xoph volunteers to assemble and lead team!


 * next meeting will be Sunday, April 2, 2006 at 8 PM, EST
