Monthly Meetings
The Web Developer Network holds a monthly meeting that provides the opportunity for all university website stakeholders to get together, network, and learn about upcoming changes to the university Web Framework and CMS. The group also discusses upcoming web trends and share knowledge and best practices about maintaining websites.
Meeting agendas are mailed out a day before the meeting. We also encourage topic inclusions and presentation suggestions using the suggestion form.
Governance Board
The WDN Shared Governance Board administers and guides the development of the UNL Web Framework, Standards Guide and public information management systems in an environment of respect, collaboration, and outreach. Their goal: to improve user experience, solicit user feedback, and encourage good stewardship of all university websites.
Board meetings are held on the first and third Thursday every month, at 2:00 p.m. on Zoom. University staff participation at these board meetings is welcome.
Chat with other campus web developers and get your questions answered.

Code Contributions
Our university's Web Framework is publicly available on GitHub. Improvements and new features are welcomed through submitted pull requests. If you have any questions about how to implement a feature or change, please hop in our chat room.
If you are not familiar with Git, but still wish to contribute, the Framework documentation might be a good opportunity. You can add examples, fix errors, and improve content in our documentation.
Feature Requests
If you do not have the time or resources to implement a feature yourself, please submit a feature request. You can also use the feature request form or the chat to let us know about bugs that you have discovered. We always welcome opportunities to improve the tools that we bring to you.
The Web Developer Network is coordinated by Digital Experience Group, a partnership of University Communication and Information Technology Services at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
