I've added them to the SIG Resources page too. Oops!
<br>
<br>
As for 2009's, since we're still in 2009 I'm just downloading them
every month. I've not got any other SIG's though, I should do it on the
ones I'm on sometime.

Sent the email to Joseph, we'll see what he says.

I will link them in, which I've totally forgotten to do actually.
<br>
<br>
However, I've not checked what the plan is in general. To be honest, I
doubt they've even considered it, along with the forums disappearing.
This is a problem of course.
<br>
<br>
I will need to check, and will get in touch with Joseph and Tim
immediately. This is rather important!

I'm responding very late on this. I see there're plans in the email
below to migrate addresses from the existing mailman listservs. I'm
assuming that means they'll not be used in the future. Will the list
archives remain intact? I realise it's an obvious question, so I'm
hoping it's an angle that's been covered by the website team...

Dear IGDA SIG and CHAPTER Leaders,
<br>
<br>
I am happy to report that we are finally close to being able to take
the new website live, and that it will have most of the features many
of you have been anticipating. We do have some substantial work left to
do, mainly in the back-end integration of financial infrastructure, but
we have also devised a way to take the website live with this
functionality mostly complete and with a plan to then complete it in
the weeks following launch. We are also still adding in the social
networking part of the new website, so please bear with us on that. The
IGDA Store will be added soon, too.
<br>
<br>
The main purpose of this email is to get information and feedback on
the six areas below. If you haven't had the opportunity to look at the
test site yet, I recommend you do so as soon as possible. I understand
all of you have access to the test website - please tell me if that
isn't the case:
<br>
<br>
1) Are there any key features you were expecting to see on day-one that
do not seem to be present in the current test website today?
<br>
<br>
2) Are there any major bugs in the current test site you are aware of,
or ways the website works you think should be changed before we go
live?
<br>
<br>
3) As to the look and feel, the test website has the relatively modest
changes to appearance and functionality the team was able to do in our
budget. It should be stable and visible in Firefox, and shortly working
flawlessly in IE too. We hope to budget a more extensive upgrade in the
future. What do you think about the current design, in terms of going
live ?
<br>
<br>
4) The current plan is to migrate all the current members of each SIG
and CHAPTER by simply importing the members from the existing
ListServs. Clearly, where some of you are using other solutions such as
Google Groups we will need you to supply us with a list of your
members’ emails in some useable form (such as a comma separated file).
If this applies to you, please send me your list (or let me know so we
can work out the format) and I will coordinate ensuring our website
developers have all SIG and CHAPTER member lists.
<br>
<br>
5) Some SIGS (and some CHAPTERS?) have tiers of membership such that
you would not wish all members to have access to all your SIG or
CHAPTER areas on the new website. The current plan is to import the
entire list of your members, and we let you, as SIG and CHAPTER
leaders, select which member has what level of access, who has admin
privileges, etc. Do you think this will work for your SIG/CHAPTER?
<br>
<br>
6) Based on the test website as it stands do you currently have all the
levels of access and sub-groups, etc that you will need on "day one" so
that you can assign your members to have access to each of the levels,
each of the groups and sub-groups? If not, then I need you to email me
directly what levels you will need and how it differs from what is
there in the test site for you right now.
<br>
<br>
That's it for the questions! If you could try to respond to me by later
this week it will help us confirm the final timeline and get prepared
for going live. Once your final questions and concerns have been
addressed, we expect the process of migration should be a fairly swift
one with perhaps the existing IGDA website and the existing ListServs
going down for perhaps as little as one or at most two days. That would
be our goal. But please do bear in mind that when we "flip the switch"
on that migration in readiness for the new website to go live, all
access to the old website site will be permanently lost, as will all
access to the old ListServs, etc. So we are taking care to be sure
everyone here, and the web team, are fully prepared.
<br>
<br>
If you have any questions or concerns I ask that you contact me,
please, so that I can collate everyone's responses and coordinate what
I sincerely trust is the final push before we can take this long
awaited new website live.
<br>
<br>
Kind regards,
<br>
<br>
