>> 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:
>> A calendar of events, which integrates with the one from the IGF Community site at http://igf-online.net that has existed since 2007.  All IGF events are already added: see http://www.igcaucus.org/calendar/2011-09.
>> A new, modern theme (the old one was the Drupal default, making our site look like thousands of others).
>> Much nicer lists of members, with full names instead of usernames (see http://www.igcaucus.org/list-members).
>> 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.
>> Resources added by members can now be free-tagged, and will be listed chronologically and by tag on the resources page (see http://www.igcaucus.org/resources).
>> There are only two outstanding items that I am aware of:
>> 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.
>> I can't implement the planned single password on the mailing list site (http://lists.cpsr.org/) and the IGC site (http://www.igcaucus.org) without help from the CPSR people, whom I've only recently contacted about this and am waiting to hear back from.
