  • space to relate action from the attac chapter
  • link from the social network space related post
  • news aggregator from other website of the altermondialist movement dedicated to the financial crisis.
  • a get involve page (with something like petition/donate/join in)

Notes of Phone conference attac.org-configuration, july 28th 2009

- recap: what happened on attac.org while Mael was on holiday

Fixed problem with my contacts page
Forum-module installed – necessary: Rearrangement of group-navigation
Dashboard: user-contact request added
All language packages have been installed- Fiona
Group modification: administration is not easy
Group forum should be put into a tab for the groups homepage

- layout remarks
I still have a hard time finding what I'm looking for on this page. Much is just a layout-problem. I would therefore:
1. reduce the size of the "attac international" logo or find some other way to make the upper bar less space consuming. -> Jule; Oliver will make it smaller (css)
2. make the whole content right-bound, not centered, in order to have some space on the right. -> it’s ok, perhaps smaller blog-post-overview
3. reduce the use of bold types in texts. -> yes, e.g. in bookmarks
One detail concerning the map on the first page: Attac Finland is missing.
perhaps the map could also be smaller? -> place it into a window above the dates-windows

Aufbau für attac.org-Nutzungsleitfaden

Könnten die How-Tos als Wikipage angelegt werden?
Einführung
Wir brauchen einen Überblick über den Zweck der Seite (wurde von Mael schon geschickt) und über den daraus hervorgegangenen Aufbau mit all seinen Möglichkeiten
Aufbau
Erläuterungen müssen sich an verschiedenen Rechtegruppen orientieren (aufbauend):
1) "Normale" UserInnen (was haben die für Rechte?)
2) Group-Admins
3) Campaign Admins
Hier sollte auch stehen, was es mit den Rechtegruppen auf sich hat, d.h. welche zusätzlichen Möglichkeiten diese Gruppen jeweils haben und was mensch als User beachten muss
Ich schlage vor, mit der Normaluser-Gruppe beginnend den Arbeitsbildschirm zu erläutern: Was kann ich alles wie machen?

roadmap

Social network :

- create an help desk

- set default publication language to the user's language
