Mission Statement
Final Draft:
- The WDN Shared Governance Board administers and guides the development of the UNLedu Web Framework, Style Book, and public information management systems. Its mission is to improve user experience for UNL site visitors, managers and developers by soliciting user feedback, encouraging good stewardship of all UNL websites, and fostering an environment of respect, collaboration, and outreach.
- Bob Crisler moved to approve the above mission statement

Michael Fairchild presented .csv list of Top Visited sites according to our Web Audit system
- bulletin.unl.edu/undergraduate
- Michael will send the board the URL for this list
How often should this list be updated?
--------------------------------
-
How do we prioritize our review of site?
-
What is the procedure for reviewing a site?
-
How, and with whom, do we communicate?
Matt and Bob posed some questions for discussion:
"How do we prioritize the sites we address?" "What about sites like Sheldon & Quilt Center that have their own marketing, domains, etc.?"
Matt: Beyond glaring errors or accessibility issues, if the site is not a part of the framework, we should limit our focus on those sites. (Sheldon, Morrill Hall, etc.)
Potential metrics for disiplinary action/enforcement:
what types of divergences would require some intervention from the board?
- Perhaps failing pages, instead of failing sites (because 1 failed page means the site fails)
- Copyright infringement (photos? media without appropriate attribution?)
- Mobile - search for sites that use fixed-width tables (bad)
Things we want to see in addition to the list of site views:
- Web audit scores and stats
COMMITTEES / AREAS OF FOCUS
Matt suggests that we establish committees that specialize in specific areas of a review. Items called out are the WDN Board's 2014 points of emphasis.
- Headings and page organization
- Content organization, information architecture
Create
Guideline Questions for PDFs: is it for print? PDF. handbooks? ePub is better, PDF is ok. Is it content that should be on the web page, and accessible, NOT in a PDF?
Interested parties:
- Terms of Use (Accessibility and Validity)
- Content Org/Info Architecture
- Media, Copyright & Attribution
Agenda Items for Next Meeting:
