This page tracks requirements and requests for a new site.

Contents

Problems with existing site

  • Bad styling on posts
  • Info for new members and interested parties can be hard to find
  • Wiki is infested with spam content and accounts
  • Other (abandoned) site(s), various labels we use (e.g. durham makerspace) compete with the Splatspace identity and create terrible confusion

New site

Requirements

  • Easy to use/update blog
  • Important info super easy to find

Nice to haves

  • Better mailing list integration/sign up
  • Meetup integration
  • Flickr integration
  • A mention (and link to) the member release form and clear communication of caveats to do with minors (under 18s). Yes, part of this requires consensus agreement, but sharing the member release form and urging parents to be sure to read it and making clear that a parent's signature is required, not a child's, etc, can all be done now. The FAQ might be a good place for this.
