What can we do to continue improving? Daw44 09:08, 29 January 2009 (MST)

I was wondering if we could include a feature about 'current events' on the main page. This feature could be a listing of upcoming conferences, upcoming workshops, etc. Roys 09:082 29 January 2009 (MST)

I think we can take care of this in the announcements section. I'm not sure reproducing everything on the AAA's website makes sense, but those specific to the Prep track make sense. Daw44 09:38, 29 January 2009 (MST)
I agree. In specific, I think it would be beneficial to have a listing of the upcoming participants on the SOA Workshop schedule. Roys 10:12, 29 January 2009 (MST)
When we get some time, we plan to implement an RSS feed on the announcements. That will still take a bit of time (probably after this semester is over), but it is in the works. We could put stuff like that up. Daw44 13:06, 29 January 2009 (MST)
I think when considering continueing improvement, you have to consider the marginal benefit of what you are doing. Do we have any statistics on how many people are actually using this site on an ongoing basis (as opposed to the 12 thousand something number at the bottom)?--Jlamro 07:04, 11 February 2009 (MST)

I think it might be a good idea to link our featured favorites to their individual pages. What does everyone else think? Spuhlmann 20:28, 31 January 2009 (MST)

I agree. Daw44 21:01, 31 January 2009 (MST)

I think it is time to highlight another student. I nominate Spencer P.--Jlamro 07:04, 11 February 2009 (MST)

I put up a new featured student; Spencer P is on the list of the next 4 students that will be up (I'm still waiting to hear back from him).--Emetts 08:50, 11 February 2009 (MST)
