When this site was first created there were very few of us and it was easy to just fiddle around until I got something in a usable shape. However now we are a round dozen, and most of the time when I visit the site there's more than just me there.
My primary concerns are :
- Improving the menus on the home page (and the general look and feel) so that people can find things more easily
- Improving the user profile management and registration process so that we can revert to having people register themselves, albeit they won't be accepted as members unless the group agrees, as recently discussed
- Generally tidying up the document hierarchies which make up the coffee reviews (hey, we've got 5 of these now - when are you going to do one?)
Any input in terms of how you'd like it to look (within the limits of what I can achieve with the available software without further development) or what your issues are with the existing set up, will be well received.
For the "founder members" (which theoretically includes Nass although I don't think we'll be seeing him for a long time, if ever - he's working offshore as I understand it) - what do you want me to do with the blog which was the predecessor of this site? And for that matter, is there any interest amongst the newer members in retaining this historical record? I don't think it would be particularly easy to migrate it into the forum, so I can either
- Put a Postnuke wrapper around it and make it available from the site
- Just put a link on the site to point to it
- Archive it just in case we want a laugh some time in the future
- Just kill it off altogether
Any of the options which involve retaining the blog will mean me moving it from jordanfamily.me.uk to toomuchcoffee.com, as I only have 100MB of space on my personal account but 1GB of space on toomuchcoffee.com.
Please feed back on the above and anything else you'd like to mention about the site.
