<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">
I have just finished another major revamp of the IGC's website,
incorporating almost all of the suggestions that members had made.
We now have:<br>
<ul>
<li>A calendar of events, which integrates with the one from the
IGF Community site at <a href="http://igf-online.net" target="_blank">http://igf-online.net</a> that has existed
since 2007. All IGF events are already added: see
<a href="http://www.igcaucus.org/calendar/2011-09" target="_blank">http://www.igcaucus.org/calendar/2011-09</a>.<br>
</li>
<li>A new, modern theme (the old one was the Drupal default,
making our site look like thousands of others).<br>
</li>
<li>Much nicer lists of members, with full names instead of
usernames (see <a href="http://www.igcaucus.org/list-members" target="_blank">http://www.igcaucus.org/list-members</a>).<br>
</li>
<li>Additional profile fields, including a long free text
description, and space to add your social networking and instant
messaging contact addresses. Most of these synchronise with our
membership database, making the data available to other IGC Web
applications.<br>
</li>
<li>Resources added by members can now be free-tagged, and will be
listed chronologically and by tag on the resources page (see
<a href="http://www.igcaucus.org/resources" target="_blank">http://www.igcaucus.org/resources</a>).</li>
</ul>
There are only two outstanding items that I am aware of:<br>
<ul>
<li>I haven't made the site multilingual, because this is
something that I can't do myself: it would require volunteers to
translate the existing content into each other language. But in
the future if such volunteers step forward, it will be possible.</li>
<li>I can't implement the planned single password on the mailing
list site (<a href="http://lists.cpsr.org/" target="_blank">http://lists.cpsr.org/</a>) and the IGC site
(<a href="http://www.igcaucus.org" target="_blank">http://www.igcaucus.org</a>) without help from the CPSR people,
whom I've only recently contacted about this and am waiting to
hear back from.<br>
</li>
</ul>
Enjoy the improvements!<br>
