Web Site Committee Motion

I, Frank Warmerdam, move that a "Web Site Committee" be designated to manage the foundation web site and related resources. The initial committee membership shall include:


 * Daniel Brookshier (chair)
 * Howard Butler (hobu@iastate.edu)
 * Fred Warnock (fwarnock@dmsolutions.ca)
 * Perry Nacionales nacional@cbs.umn.edu

The web site committee has responsibilities to:
 * maintain and update the foundation web site.
 * recommend appropriate website technologies (ie. wiki)
 * decide and implement a site wide style guideline.
 * support foundation projects in use of portal technologies and common style.
 * adding and removing committee members as needed.
 * report back to the board (via Chair) to the board monthly on activities and issues.
 * pursue translation of portions of the site into other languages.

Additional Notes on the Collabnet infrastructure
There are four key areas of the site to be managed:


 * 1) The home page, header, footer, left nav, and right community news column. This should also include all content related to the site, education, and foundation documentation.
 * 2) The left nav for project pages.
 * 3) General domain administrations and settings.
 * 4) The OSGeo Wiki

This motion was accepted at the First Board Meeting. See the Website Committee page for more information.
