Okay, time to re-focus my efforts on the Mappa Mercia website. The current version of the site is online at http://mappa-mercia.org/ . And the proposed new version is in development at http://mappa.stulester.co.uk/
Looking at the new design again (with SOTM now behind us) I now think we are being too cautious, not changing enough. I suggest we refocus on the community and potential things that the Mappa Mercia can work on (e.g. with a local council, charity or organisation). So I suggest that we: 1. Make the landing page the “About” page but update it to include a carousel of images of the local members, SOTM, GPS surveying and a map render. 2. Remove the “The Maps” page altogether keeping just the drop down menu. If wordpress insists we have a link here then we can just redirect it to the first map in the list. 3. Each map page includes a large map with some text below it. I'm hoping to get a button on there that opens each map in full screen. 4. Rename “News” to “Blog” as previously discussed. 5. Make the “Projects” page our active way of organising projects/current mapping tasks. For now this can start with a list of current projects with links out to the relevant page on the OSM wiki I will be around Thursday evening at our monthly meet-up so we can look through things then. I would also welcome support from outside our normal group, so if you have any web/wordpress skills and can spare a few minutes to help us out, please do get in contact. Thoughts welcome. Best regards, Rob
