[sudo-discuss] Homepage hacking

[Vicky Knox]

Ken makes some really good points as to the practical importance of
creating a user-friendly and attractive web presence for Noisebridge. This
topic/event may be of interest not only to people who want to help out
Noisebridge, but people interested in working on sudoroom dot org and the
wiki.

If you ever need wiki help, I am available.

Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] [8:00pm in Turing] Noisebridge Homepage
Hacking! Web development!
To: noisebridge-discuss at lists.noisebridge.net


*Interested in ...*
• Making it *easier* to *donate* to Noisebridge?!
• *Web* development?
• A more *usable* and *attractive* homepage for Noisebridge?

*NOISEBRIDGE HOMEPAGE HACKING!*
Stop by at *8:00p**m** tonight* in *Turing* (classroom) if interested in
helping or providing feedback

Ken Haggerty is organizing :D I will bring some cookies? Oreos?

*   *   *   *   *

A group of us will begin hacking out an alternative homepage design, and *
IFF* enough people like it, we can use it on Noisebridge.net.
(DON'T WORRY, the wiki **isn't** going anywhere.
...also, if it sucks, it'll just be good web-dev practice)

But *why*, you ask, should Noisebridge have a new homepage, when our
current one is perfectly fine?

• A wiki is pretty *intimidating* to look at if you are not already a
technically-oriented person.
• Noisebridge is awesome because it's *welcoming* to everyone, and our
homepage should welcome all hackers, from our computer scientists to our
architects, fashion, and food hackers!
• A clear and clean homepage will make it easier to *solicit donations* to
keep Noisebridge running! (where is the donate button??)
• A better homepage with a clear message can *attract non-members* who are
interested in learning more about Noisebridge.

This is the same time/place as the usual weekly Frontend Web Development
lab, so others present will also be working on other cool things too.

Cool beans, show up or shoot me a message at kenmhaggerty at gmail.com if
interested,
-Ken
