Summary of design crit feedback:

Design findings:

• People currently cobble together different websites instead of sending people to the main IDRC website, because its too messy and hard to navigate
• What we do - Sending things like other project websites - FLOE, cities, SJRK, etc - to get an idea of what the projects are
• Learning about inclusive design - Sending articles or deep linked pages like what is inclusive design, the 3 dimensions, etc
• Education & outreach - stands out awkwardly, overlaps a lot with resources - take this out
• Pages that could potentially be merged
• Methods & processes and resources
• Events with news / blog
• News
• Figure out what we can archive
• Create tags for different types of content

Technology considerations:

• There’s a lot of duplicated information - ex. Mailing list links to the IDRC and its separate projects. If we want to have information in multiple places, we want to update it once - not every single time
• This should be considered the same time the IA is - understand what’s feasible from a technical POV

Sustainability:

• We should not have things on the website that we don’t have the capacity to keep up to date
• What kind of practices will we need to adopt to make sure the website is more successful than it has in the past?
• Worth another brainstorming session to identify those problems, and come up with solutions

Scope:

• Consider the main job of the IDRC website, vs the main job of the wiki and our other project websites - make sure those jobs are discrete, and don’t duplicate content
• Consider adding code of conduct, privacy policy, statement for diversity & inclusion etc
