Ken makes some really good points as to the practical importance of creating a user-friendly and attractive web presence for Noisebridge. This topic/event may be of interest not only to people who want to help out Noisebridge, but people interested in working on sudoroom dot org and the wiki. <br>
<br>If you ever need wiki help, I am available.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Ken M. Haggerty</b> <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:kenmhaggerty@gmail.com">kenmhaggerty@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span><br>

<div>A group of us will begin hacking out an alternative homepage design, and <b><u>IFF</u></b> enough people like it, we can use it on Noisebridge.net.</div><div>(DON&#39;T WORRY, the wiki **isn&#39;t** going anywhere.</div>


<div>...also, if it sucks, it&#39;ll just be good web-dev practice)</div><div><br></div><div>But <b><u>why</u></b>, you ask, should Noisebridge have a new homepage, when our current one is perfectly fine?</div><div><br></div>


<div>• A wiki is pretty <b>intimidating</b> to look at if you are not already a technically-oriented person.</div><div>• Noisebridge is awesome because it&#39;s <b>welcoming</b> to everyone, and our homepage should welcome all hackers, from our computer scientists to our architects, fashion, and food hackers!</div>


<div>• A clear and clean homepage will make it easier to <b>solicit donations</b> to keep Noisebridge running! (where is the donate button??)</div><div>• A better homepage with a clear message can <b>attract non-members</b> who are interested in learning more about Noisebridge.</div>


<div><br></div><div>This is the same time/place as the usual weekly Frontend Web Development lab, so others present will also be working on other cool things too.</div><div><br></div><div>Cool beans, show up or shoot me a message at <a href="mailto:kenmhaggerty@gmail.com" target="_blank">kenmhaggerty@gmail.com</a> if interested,</div>
