Mentally I have already retreated from beta.ietf.org as a useful page for a participant. But I can accept that; the current page is unwelcoming or an “outsider”, and we could use a better public “face”. > If those things were one click from the new web site… > and the rest would be neatly organised, that would certainly > do it for me.

Well, if it’s “one click away”, participants will just bookmark or go directly to that page, and not www.ietf.org. I know I will. Just like I sometimes also go directly to the datatracker. > For added bonus, maybe the most recent last > call / most recent blog article / most recent call for > hotel reservations opening or the like were to be also > displayed, the front door would give me an added > benefit of possibly stumbling on information that I > needed. Put all that on a one screen, participant oriented “index” page that we can go directly to. Leave www.ietf.org to be the public shop window. Tim
