DC-General list:
We wish to thank all of the people who took the time to respond to our
request for suggestions for the DCMI web site redesign. A summary of the
suggestions received is below. If you have any additions that you would
like to have included on our list, please send them to [log in to unmask] right
away.
Common tasks that people use the DCMI web site for:
* to refresh their memory on DCMI recommendations
* to point others to element definitions
* to look for news and new recommendations
* to look for information on projects implementing DC
Suggestions for the site overall:
* need better exposure for the activities of the working groups
* need a search function
* the element list should be the first thing people see on the site
* need more examples of DC when applied in real situations
Suggestions for web site design changes:
* satisfying WAI guidelines should be a priority
* use fewer graphics
* no fixed width pages
* no yellow or other colored backgrounds
* there is too much scrolling.
* simplify, simplify, simplify
* please use XHTML for all the HTML documents on the site.
Again, thank you for the responses.
