Please forward to anyone in your area who has responsibility for an MSU Web presence -- both content and server folks. We've set up an announcement Listserv for MSU Webmasters. To join the list, please send mail to: [log in to unmask] The mail should include a line that looks like this: subscribe webmasters Jane Doe This will be a low-volume, announcement-only list. (Joseph T Vandeventer has set up an MSU Webmasters discussion area in ANGEL.) If you have any problems subscribing please drop me a note. _____ I've reserved the International Center Library (formerly Con-Con Room) for a Webmasters meeting on December 2. Topics we've identified so far are: -- Overview of new Web site for MSU Webmasters. This new site will provide guidelines and usable elements (headers and footers with ready-to-use logos) for use by MSU Webmasters for official MSU sites. It will also have pointers to resources on accessibility, usability, visibility, and best practices. -- Information about LIFT Desktop and LIFT Machine. MSU has acquired these tools and we are in the process of setting up a distribution mechanism (Desktop) and authorization scheme (Machine). -- Pick preferred dates and times for January and future meetings, and discuss topics for next few meetings. (Unfortunately this month a NAG meeting happened to get scheduled on a day I'd reserved; folks have suggested that we plan on monthly meetings and pick a regular day, e.g. the 3rd Friday each month.) -- Discuss whether we like ANGEL as our between-meeting online discussion medium; choose an alternative if not. -- "Open Mike" question and answer period This will probably be a brief meeting unless other topics come up. If you can't make the meeting, please join the mailing list where we'll post a summary. ____ /rich
