Page 2 The IDS Website IDS Meeting 17 th January 2008Ajit Kurup Introduction We’ll soon have a new website –It’s in the process of being registered Wiki based system but with a structure similar to the existing website –Open for anyone to read –Could have private pages Go over the main features Requests for features and questions

Page 3 The IDS Website IDS Meeting 17 th January 2008Ajit Kurup Features My idea of how the website should be organised –Based on the current website and ISS website. –Still in development. Working group pages with uniform appearance –Statement of objectives, subgroup list, workshops, files, external links and link to mailing list –Subgroup pages Statement of objectives, files and external links IDS-NF Notes –Conference contributions and internal notes Recent news, upcoming meetings and conferences

Page 4 The IDS Website IDS Meeting 17 th January 2008Ajit Kurup Questions Is the suggested format of the working group pages OK? Which pages, if any, do we want to keep private? Current baseline off the main page? –Collection of pdf files in a table with version number(major number- minor number 1-minor number 2), date and note of changes. R&D list for each working group? Interface between groups? Is there a physics group mailing list? List of collaborators with addresses? Requests for features?

Page 5 The IDS Website IDS Meeting 17 th January 2008Ajit Kurup Plan for future Wait for domain name to be registered. Need to change the way the pages look i.e. create a theme. –Also, it’d be nice to have a logo. Current one is used for too many projects! Once format of working group pages is decided the individual working groups can add content. Write the help page –Procedures for creating an account, getting permission to edit pages and how to edit them. Thanks to Kostas Georgiou for setting up the webserver and wiki. Mail will be sent to the NF-IDS list when it’s ready.
