[MVMA] MVMA: New name, new domain, new hosting, new pages

[Dan Van Fleet]

I have little to no influence on this topic.  I did want to mention that content is very different than look and feel. So I quite disagree with the statement

“New hosting content should be created anew so that items 3. and 4. are alleviated.”

I have never built a new version of a website without using the content that was already on the website.  IMHO The content belongs with the website no matter what software is delivering it.  Web development has come a long way since the site was created.  That said, I didn’t argue for or against this whole kerfuffle. I’m clearly in the dark, and this is a decision out of my scope of authority, so to say.

Subject: [MVMA] MVMA: New name, new domain, new hosting, new pages

During the teamtalk net last Wednesday evening is was agreed that
MVMA would get

  1.  a new organization name to better reflect our purpose, miamivalleymicrowave[a*]
  2.  new domain name, such as miamivalleymicrowave.org, to better reflect our mission,
     *   current web domain would automatically transfer page requests when the new site is online.
  3.  new web hosting, because the current pages are not edit-able with WordPress®,
  4.  new web pages, because
     *   the current pages look stale
     *   folks cannot tell the difference between 'text' and 'links'
     *   the navigation is on the right side instead of the top
     *   some of the text disappears into the right side navigation area.

 Between Wednesday evening and now it has been requested that the current
web site content be transferred to a new hosting service.

 Because of items 3. and 4. above, I feel that the entire current content should not be transferred to new hosting.
New hosting content should be created anew so that items 3. and 4. are alleviated.

Following:

  *   Should we edit our current or create a new mission statement?
  *   Should we restructure our organization ?
     *   It seems to me that we have an inactive officer position, Secretary.
  *   Should we have elections under the current structure or a new structure?
