that was way before (almost two weeks) the general site was updated.
Maybe you even know of http://linmagazine.co.il/node/view/11839
I remember that. Instead of notifying the W2L webmaster of your schedule,
you opened a competing site and sent a link, without any action item for the
webmaster to update anything.
No he was not. He was sent to me. I told him I'd rather that he won't do
his site in PHP, because it was unnecessary in this case. So Ram
automatically deduced that the HTML should be written by hand, and as a
result asked me if he can do it with frames. However, frames are Evil (
http://www.html-faq.com/htmlframes/?framesareevil ) and I told him to avoid
it. I said that he should generate the web-site's HTML instead, using a
pre-rendering program, and after consulting with Alon, it was decided that
we _will_ allow him to use PHP. (Due to his cluelessness) However, we did
not hear from him since.
need I say more?!
I am not sure who pointed Ram to Shlomi Fish, but that most surely was a
mistake.
No it's not. All of this took one or two days. Ram had plenty of time to
revamp the site, but he did not move a muscle.
After you wasted two days of his time did you call him again and asked him
for help?
The moment I heard Ram wanted to redesign the W2L I told him to go ahead.
However, I'm a firm believer in one bird in the hand is better that two on
the tree. That's why I left the current W2L site online, waiting for Ram to
build the replacement. I'm still waiting.
Well, looks aside, you should put the contact information in the bottom.
Why? and maybe this "looks aside" is what made the general W2L site what it
is.
Did you ask a marketing professional about which site looks better? Did
you ask the users? Do you have any shred of evidence that the design of the
JLC site is "more inviting" other than that a person from your club designed
it?
Hoever, this is not the question. The JLC site has one problem for being
used as the primary W2L site, and that is that it speaks only about JLC. I'd
prefer an ugly text file or even a flash abomination with infomation about
all the clubs, than a site that ignores everything except JLC. If the JLC
site (or a site with similar design) would have had all the information
people need in order to know when and where the lectures are, it would have
been the main W2L site. Simple as that. I do not like duplication of effort.
That's the reason the coordinated site was started on the first place. It's
a shame the people at JLC chose to build their own site instead of
collaborating with other clubs to build one site everybody will enjoy.
Right, but at least have a page for International surfers. And you could
have a bi-lingual site. Also, aren't there many Jeruxers who are native
English speakers?
Can you refer me to IGLUs Hebrew pages?
I know a JLCer ( :P) who's native Spanish speaker, will it do?
An English site is a waste of time, but one page in English with general
information should be available as a courtesty to international viewers.
