International Game Developers Association
[edit] Plan of Action
- invite sig members to submit comps.
- choose a comp
- see if anyone wants to break it into a template
- fill in the templates with the real content (possibly deputize someone for this job)
- double-check for typos and errors
- launch it
- double-double check for typos and errors
- notify Jason of our stupendous achievement so he can alert the media
[edit] Volunteers
[edit] Research Items
- Who's our competition? other SIGs? Other writing guilds?
- We want to look slick and professional. reliable - yet creative.
[edit] Current Status
- Last time we struggled with the graphics, so this time I've put up some materials to give us a starting point. You can download and view them here.
- Don't feel like you have to use any of these materials, but feel free if something strikes your fancy.
- I'm going to insist on a white background - or close to it. It just looks more professional. (Not standard default gray though!)
- Things that need to be featured on the homepage:
1. our articles, whitepaper, quarterly, resource lists, buying our book?
2. news items about upcoming events
3. job resources - openings for writers, contract writers list
4. credentials of executive board and/or committee
5. how to join the mailing list
- I know I'm asking a lot. Just do your best.
- Other things that need to be available via navigation, but don't have to be really prominent:
1. message board
2. blogroll
3. old news
4. more about the sig - how we work, what we're working for, how to get involved
5. IDGA's logo, linking to IGDA's main page
- Keep in mind that not everyone's monitor is the same size.
- Feel free to rename sections and arrange the content in whatever way you see fit.
[edit] ToDo List
- call for comps on mailing list
- narrow down and refine designs
- vote on it at a committee meeting
- divvy up work
- get it done!
