Many thanks to everyone who took time to review the beta.ietf.org website and provide comments. Based on feedback received, there seem to be a few items requiring attention before moving the revamped public-facing website to production: A. Provide a landing page dedicated to current IETF participants That page will include links to: - items on the left-side at www.ietf.org (or a subset thereof) - information about the next IETF meeting - links to functions at datatracker.ietf.org Ideally this would also be: - viewable in a single screen on a desktop/laptop display - reachable via a short, memorable URL without images A draft is currently posted at https://beta.ietf.org/links/ This page can be updated further based on input from the community. There were also some suggestions received that revisions to datatracker.ietf.org might meet this need. While that is out of scope for this project, suggestions have been noted by the tools team. If you frequently use something that is missing, please let us know. B. Ensure WCAG 2.0 compliance This is a requirement of the SOW (https://iaoc.ietf.org/documents/IETF-Website-SOW-20140604-Final.pdf) and we are working with the website developer to ensure it is implemented. The baseline goal is to improve upon the status of the current www.ietf.org site. Furthermore, improving accessibility will continue to be an area of focus for the revamped website. C. Conduct review with other key audiences, especially potential participants and non-participants Based on the project SOW and the results of initial research (https://iaoc.ietf.org/documents/Torchbox_ETFUserresearch.pdf), additional interviews with members of the key audiences will be conducted to gather input. The results of those interviews will be incorporated into the project via issues noted at: https://github.com/ietf/www.ietf.org/issues D. Improve data use and load times Load time and data usage was noted as being higher than the current www.ietf.org site. The expectation is that load times will improve as the beta site moves to production and is deployed on the CDN used by www.ietf.org. In addition, content elements such as images will be adjusted to improve performance. In particular, some of the potential participants and non-participants reviewers will be in locations with less robust connectivity and their input on this aspect of the revamped site will be sought out. This is an aspect called out in the SOW and will have ongoing attention. Over the next few weeks, the project team will be working through these and some other issues, such as filling out content and moving to the the most current version of the open source Wagtail Content Management System. There will be ongoing efforts to improve the revamped site, so your ongoing input is encouraged. Feedback can be sent to webmaster@xxxxxxxx or issues can be raised at: https://github.com/ietf/www.ietf.org/issues Thanks again to all those who have provided input. I expect to be in touch again as we move the revamped site to production. Sincerely, Russ Housley IETF Website Revamp Project Manager
