These include:<div><br></div><div><ul class="MailOutline"><li>A single interface for subscribing to the list and registering on the Web site, which also adds your details to an IGC membership database (subject to eligibility). I have fixed the LDAP errors that some people encountered when registering, and made that the correct information is now listed for everyone.</li><li>Everyone now has the ability to create <a href="http://www.igcaucus.org/blog">personal blog posts</a> directly on the IGC Web site. The latest headlines from these are listed on the front page. To post to your blog, just log in to the site and then click "Create content" in the left hand column, then "Blog entry".</li><li>There is a new <a href="http://www.igcaucus.org/wiki">Resources page</a> which is editable as a wiki. You can also upload documents there. Instructions are given on that page.</li><li>Click on the name of any contributor to the site (when you are logged in), and you can see their profile, including their organisation and Web site (if provided). Later, the list of members will also be hyperlinked to member profiles.</li><li>There is a <a href="http://www.igcaucus.org/privacy">privacy policy</a>. Please check this out to make sure that it is OK. If you have any changes to suggest, please post them to the list.</li><li>Besides the Twitter feed that I added last time, headlines from external Internet governance blogs are now also included in a column on the front page.</li></ul><div><ul class="MailOutline"><li>I've moved the list of recent IGC statements to the centre column of the Web site, to more clearly indicate that the centre contains official resources and the right column contains feeds from the broader community.</li></ul></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>There's a lot more that could be done, but that will do for now. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">Some help is needed:</span></div><div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; font-size: 12px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><ul class="MailOutline"><li>First and most importantly, we need a deputy Web administrator, who can share the load of building and maintaining our Web and database software, and take over from me when I'm unavailable.

At the moment Twitter is just sourced from posts tagged "#igf". If you have a Twitter list that would be a better source of relevant posts than this, let me know. Also, if you have an Internet governance blog that should be added to the feeds we are aggregating (a list of which is at <a href="http://igf-online.net/gregarius">http://igf-online.net/gregarius</a>), let me know.</li></ul><div><br></div></div></div></span></div></span></div></div></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;
