| We are considering a significant update to our website, one that would encompass resources for all three lists.
(We're definitely planning on no-ads, or a few as possible.)
Anything we should definitely keep, or something we should add? |
| |
| | 1. 1. Find someway to strip, block or otherwise end the masses of html-coding gobbledegook that infests too many posts. It renders them (and the digests in which they're embedded) unreadable.
2. Make a up an FAQ of subscribe/unsubscribe/etc. information and list protocols/basic manners (ex. |
| | 2. message board, event listings (with the option of sorting by date or location), assignments/ handouts, links to information about libraries specialized collections (for example: minicomics, zines, original art) |
| | 3. Not sure. |
| | 4. have no idea. |
| | 5. Simpler background.
Page where members have lists of favorite GNs? |
| | 6. An easy way to subscribe to it. |
| | 7. no pop ups... if possible, keep it clean and simple... |
| | 8. Perhaps a forum/place where members could post semi-permanent graphic novel-related weblinks? Or would that compete with the lists? |
| | 9. Have only been to the website once, so I hate to make that decision without more information |
| | 10. How about migrating the GN-LIB list to this web site? I have constantly had problems with receiving messages; it seems to switch me on and off the list, and I have read of others having the same problem. |
