[games_access] New "website" my brainstorming

[Sandra Uhling]

Hi,

little bit brainstorming:

maybe we should first make a brainstorming what we want?
Why do we want a website?
What is the aim related to extern people?
What is the aim related to this SIG?
What kind of function do we need?
Can everyone access it? Also our screenreader user?

Technical:
Own domain? Own webspace? Cost?
We also have to check what the IGDA says and what is possible.

Security:
It should be save! (A wiki can be set up very restrictive)

Safety:
We should have a backup system somehow

Skill: 
Who has the skill: (X)HTML, CSS, Design, maintenance, PHP, experience with
systems like wiki, wordpress, ...

Important:
It should be technically working.
It should be ok for the IGDA.
It should be usable for all members.
It should fit the needs.
It should be easy to maintance.
It should be easy to use.
It should be in control of the SIG (webspace, access)


Besides the technical part:
There is also the question how to use it?
Which roles should exists?
How to we move the old content to the new system?
How can we make sure we can update it in this process?

Note: we should do it step by step, less is more, ...

Note: we have also the White Paper on working status???

Best regards,
Sandra

Awesome idea.
Personally I think our web site never looked great.
Can someone send me a current link to what it is?
Why do we have to have a wiki web page?
Maybe I'm just ignorant to the idea I don't even know what the purpose of
which he is.  If everyone just makes up anything they want on there anyway
why is it so reliable and used?

I don't know anyone who says, let me check your wiki web page.  I've never
heard that.

I propose that we create a really creative designed, memorable web page that
highlights our members, what their speciality is, and make it look like a
fun interactive may be gaming knowledge base Corp. that we might be.
Make it look and feel like people think we are some huge group.  :-)

I would love to do a web site for you check out the web site for my
autobiography.  Definitely not what we need in its function, but something
along those lines.
My autobiography is really picking up in good reviews, if I get any help
promoting it that would be awesome and it definitely talks a lot about my
life and accessibility.

Hello everyone!

It is a great pleasure for me to announce that Barrie, Kevin and I  
have chosen that I will be serving  as the next chairperson for the  
GA SIG. I am very excited to have this opportunity and I plan on  
doing everything I can to push game accessibility forward while  
addressing all the needs of everyone in the group. I think we have a  
very strong steering committee, and great members overall, so I am  
confident that we can get a lot accomplished.

The first issues we are going to be addressing are the Wiki and the  
website- which was a hot topic right before the election. Barrie,  
Kevin and I will be discussing what the details should be (on or off  
the IGDA page, what should be covered and how, etc) and then once we  
have a plan get back in contact with all of you to make it real

Thanks again for everyone who voted, and let's all thank Sandra for  
running as well!

Sincerely,

Tara Tefertiller
GA SiG Chairperson
