Hello, WTF members - I've uploaded the new home page (which still needs
body content) and the portal/gateway pages, the A to Z Index, etc. to a
temporary location under my web directory for your review. The URL is:
http://www.ohlone.cc.ca.us/people/CLambert/ohlonenewtemp/

The current plan is to put these pages in place on the website by the
end of this month. The A to Z indexes and the portal/gateway pages must
reflect accurate information. Your input is IMPORTANT!

Please test these pages. More links will be added to the A to Z Index
pages. PLEASE REVIEW the (1) portal/gateway pages, (2) A to Z pages, and
(3) Divisions and Departments page. Make note of what is MISSING or
INCORRECT that relates to your department/division/area of
responsibility. The format of the "Divisions and Department" page will
be reworked soon.

The image for the header changes each day of the week. The same set of
images will be used for each page until we implement Zope in July (it
will then be easier to use a different set of images for different
sections of the site). The 7 images to be used in the header have not
been finalized yet. I plan to have a selection of images ready for
review during our WTF meeting on Tuesday next week (5/21/2002). In
addition, I am expecting more images from College Relations sometime
next week (probably not in time for our meeting). An issue with the
selection of appropriate images is the top horizontal navigation bar
that slices through the image near the top.

Also in our meeting, I want to discuss the idea of requesting images
(photographs, collages) created by students, such as multimedia and
photography students (although any Ohlone College student can submit an
image) and what would be involved in doing that, how to go about it, and
what requirements there should be. Requirements I've thought about so
far are:
  * Participants will need to sign a release so that we can use
submitted images on the website.
  * The images could be used in the header as well as in non-header
sections of the site.
  * There is no guarantee that a submitted image will be used.
  * Submitted images will not be returned and may not be archived.
Students should submit a copy of their image, not the original.
  * Submitted images must fit a defined size (515x215 pixels) or they
will be cropped to that size by the Web Team.
  * Images should be created and submitted with the understanding that
the top horizontal navigation bar will remove part of the image from
view.
  * A copyright notice with the student's name will be included on the
image (example: Mary Jones (c) 2002).
  * Images should be submitted as flattened Photoshop files on 3.5"
floppy disks or 100mb ZIP disks. Images should not be larger than
1024x768 when submitted (to cut down on disk space required to store
them).
  * What have I left out?

See you on Tuesday, 5/21/2002 at 2pm in the Library Video Conference
Room!
