Harambee workshop in Kampala
The closing workshop of the knowledge sharing Harambee project took place in Kampala in January. We shared about digital storytelling and hopefully can find a way forward for more Harambee work. It's been the Harambee project that has allowed us to do all the member interviews and surveys in AAW. Harambee benefitted other organisations in different areas, all focussed on deepening network collaboration using ICTs.
Jenny's further feedback on our new website
Visiting as a public visitor
Site Sections
I really like the way it moves from the HOME page menu bar on left to Policy, Evaluation etc and the first page of explanation. MUCH better than going directly to genderIT.org etc.
Would it not be better with Policy and Advocacy to put genderIT.org next to APC WNSP policy advocacy? The way it is now people may not get to APC WNSP policy advocacy but go directly to genderIT.org and not see APC WNSP policy advocacy.
What has happened to our Research/Publications? Not sure if we still need this as it is subsumed under other sections. Kind of like a resources section?
Menus
The APC WNSP is too close to Members and I saw it running together rather than being 2 separate sectiosn which it should be.
Lay out
On the top left hand side the A of APC WNSP is slightly off the page.
Content
I like the use of pictures and logos and we should use lots - it really makes the reading easier and the page looks friendlier.
When I click on French, the only French thing I get is "Rechercher". Is this because we don't have French content?
Mugg and Bean meanderings
Feedback so far (just so wanting to test spaces that I will need to post again!)...
Why is the search term in French? When does it change language?
The APC WNSP link on the top navigation bar does not tell me that this is About WNSP. Perhpas it should say About APC WNSP - It is confusing having that next to the Members. I initially read APC WNSP Members as one link.
I like the breakdown of news into What's New, REcent News and APC News.
How do I get to GEM from the explanation page? Assume we click on the book cover?
I like that the navigation bars are constant.
About WNSP - I like the Highlights section. Good idea.
I am not sure about clicking on the taxonomy terms (I was in Policy Advocacy when I clicked on these terms) - feels rather complicated and takes me away from what I am doing.
Like the link to Creative Commons explaining the licence.
