This page is comprehensive but long so I propose we break it up into smaller chunks for easier loading and less scrolling.

On this page (https://carpentries.org/assessment/) the link to the Assessment Network goes to the page on the DC website. Should this be moved to the Carpentries website?

Before launch, I will move the blog to its own repository. This will keep the blog separate from the rest of the website.

See image

link preview use theme icon instead of ours. I'll work on this.

We need to move over the instructor information and list from SWC to the new site. So we can replicate this info: https://software-carpentry.org/team/ for The Carpentries.

It should then be taken down from SWC site.

This will mean a change of procedure for @maneesha and @sheraaron when adding new instructor bios.

There are an awful lot of items in many of the drop down nav menus. This makes for a very crowded and overwhelming feel.

I recommend the following for the About menu:

About

• About Us
• Code of Conduct
• Governance
• Policies

(Unless there is a legal requirement that we make "Privacy Policy" it's own category, I would recommend letting it stand within the Policies category.)

Will add to this issue for the other menus.

1. If the main heading is "our team" and that is being used to include all of the different groups listed in this nav header, then the "our team" section that lists staff should be changed to "our staff"

2. "Our Instructors" assumedly has a list of Instructors in good standing with SWC. The title for this page is "Foundation Members", which is confusing. What is generating this list? Is this the list of members who were eligible to vote in the most recent elections? This page also has out-of-date references to the Steering Committee.

3. The "Our Lesson Maintainers" and "Our Trainers" pages are nice in having a table of current members of those groups, however I don't like having the information about what all of our groups do split over a bunch of different pages, as that makes it difficult for a new community member to figure out how they want to get involved (they have to navigate to 15+ different pages to find all the information they need). I'm working on testing out the aesthetics for a more comprehensive "Join Us" page and will start another issue for that.

The governance page has a huge chunk of white space between the first and second columns.

There are also some extra <div> elements at the bottom of the list of Executive Council members.

@tracykteal - If the Executive Director is listed on the Governance page, should the Associate Director also be listed?

On the homepage, there is a "ways you can engage" link. This currently goes to the join page. It should go to the community page now.

On the Donate page (https://carpentries.org/donate/) there is a link to "supporting organizations" (https://carpentries.org/scf/partners/). Should link to https://carpentries.org/memberorgs/ rather than scf/partners.

Does anyone have anything to add to this? https://carpentries.github.io/new-website/contact/

For legal reasons "partners" needs to be "members" in https://carpentries.github.io/new-website/memberorgs/ and the drop down label.

Would be good to have a proper explanation of the merger and our history since.

It would be good to have some SWC and DC testimonials on the Carpentries site.

there should be something at carpentries.org/learn currently it 404

Assigning to @jduckles to make the link colour darker

We need a link for Exec Council terms of reference, duties, roles, minutes, etc.

Right now when you click on Our Team --> Our Instructors it takes you to the SCF member page.
The SCF members represent a smaller group than the whole instructor pool which represents instructors who have not taught in the last two years.

the HTML code is rendered instead

Can we rename the repo to be something without a dot in it?

I know that links on the front page are broken - they are relative links and I want to fix them only once we are sure where the redirect is going.

On the Join page there is a bullet item:

Join a Carpentries mentoring group as a mentee.

This links to a blog post. Should it link to the blog post or the handbook?

The Instructors section on the Join us page says Instructors must

Teach at least one workshop every two years to stay a voting member of the Carpentry community.

Is this true? I was not aware that this was agreed to by the new Executive Council. It's different than what was required by the old SWC steering committee.

Link to IRB approval and Determination Letter on from page is broken
https://carpentries.org/assessment/

The learner profiles page is currently listed in both the Learn and Teach drop down menus. There is no context on this page for what the Learner Profiles represent. I expect it will be unclear what the significance of these profiles is. To my knowledge, these were not displayed from any nav menu on the SWC site.

It may be valuable to include these learner profiles on the site somewhere, but if so we should add some information that contextualizes these and helps people use this information. For example, if these are profiles of people who would benefit from a SWC (or DC?) workshop, that could be used to help people make decisions about whether to request a workshop. If there would be different learner profiles for the ideal SWC vs DC audience, we should indicate that somehow.

Long story short, let's keep an issue open about re-targeting these learner profiles and making them a useful resource for people in deciding whether or not to request / attend / teach a workshop, but remove them from the site until we are clearer about what they are for.

In the "Our Team" drop down menu the first two items are "Our Team" and "Our Staff". Both go to the same page "/team" and it is titled "Team Carpentries".

I think it should only be a single list item, should be called "Our Staff", should have a permalink "/staff" and be titled "The Carpentries Staff".

We do get some amount of logging and analytics from our CDN configuration, but I think I'd rather not use Google Analytics going forward. I'm investigating Matomo as a privacy conscious alternative.

This can be on website or handbook, but it would be good to see a list of instructor resources developed.

On the join us page there is an empty line between a bullet item and the next line (in the TOC at the top of the page). Would like to get rid of that blank link (and ideally add space between bullet items), but I'm sure this is buried in the CSS somewhere.

to populate this manually created page https://carpentries.org/trainers/

all the links in the mailing list table at the bottom of /join are broken

The "More" link button under "What we do" on the main site is broken - goes to github 404

The drop down navigation menus don't disappear when you move your mouse away from one of them, leading to lateral overlap between navigation menus.

The term that we use for this community role is "Maintainers".

Once the new mission and vision are created, we need to make this a page on About.

I would like for the most recent assessment reports to be listed on the main Carpentries website. Right now when you click on the Assessment link it leads to the assessment page in the handbook, and the handbook says our results are on our website. When you click the website link under learner assessment in the handbook it leads to the Data Carpentry assessment page. What's the best way to fix this?

@maneesha should I change the link on this page to be the Assessment page on the new Carpentries website?
@weaverbel can the Assessment page on the new carpentries website look like this?
@tracykteal do you have thoughts about the assessment page on the new website? I know you like being able to point people to a place. Will it be here, or the assessment repo

Link on this page: https://carpentries.org/join/
"... receive priority access to instructor training"

The link to instructor training is broken.

We now have a testimonials page here: https://carpentries.org/testimonials/

This is a straight lift from the SwC site. Are there DC ones to be added? It would be good to alternate.

On this page (https://carpentries.org/maintainers/)
the heading "Our Current Lesson Maintainers" is above the leftmost column. This should be centered across text or outside the table entirely.

To populate this page which was created manually. https://carpentries.org/maintainers/

From here (https://carpentries.org/assessment/)
there are previews for DC surveys but not SWC or LC surveys

They just appear below the calendar with no context

Probably at the top.

Should this go to the instructor training curriculum or to the documentation about instructor training in the handbook?

I would like to see a separate listing of all committees and task forces. At the moment, these are scattered throughout the community page and it might be useful to present the complete list in one place.

I have created a sample page but not linked to it from anywhere: http://static.carpentries.org/subcom-tf/

This has weird wrapping and poor layout
