Suggestions

Our site is up and running, but it's in beta.  Here's where we'll track suggestions for how to improve it

 

 

Suggestion	Suggested By	Task Assigned To	Staus: and Notes
change the text regarding the voicemail system and say that this feature isn’t up and running yet	Andy Carvin	Allison	Completed
Badges on the main website.  Could include on the "How to Participate" page, or could add top-level navigation called "Spread the Word".    I'd recommend separating the two out, so "How To Participate" ONLY includes info on how to submit reports (the 4 options, plus all the deets about additional hashtags. And the training video embed.   Then "Spread the Word" includes 1) sample email text to send to friends/lists/etc abt TVR, 2) Flyer to download and distribute, 3) badges/graphics to grab and repost.   How to Participate  4 options on how to participate (twitter, SMS, phone, iPhone app) hashtag instructions toolkit link instructional video embed Spread the Word  Sample email to send to friends/lists/etc about TVR Flyer to download and distribute Badges/graphics to grab and repost	Beka Economopoulos, Sanford +2
In "how to participate" sidebar box and page, add link to wiki for new collaborators	Matt Coop.
Add following text to center column of homepage, above the twitter feed:   Options for submitting a report: 1)  Send a "tweet" to Twitter.com, be sure to include the code #votereport somewhere in your message so we can find it. 2)  Send a text message that begins with #votereport to 66937 (MOZES) 3)  Call to (567) 258-8683 (258-VOTE) to submit a report by touch tone keypad and a recorded message 4)  Download the Twitter Vote Report iPhone application   (note: need to hyperlink "download")	Beka Economopoulos, Billy Gray, Dave Troy, Sanford

Site Architecture

A quick map of the minimal content we're going to display on the site

 

 tvr_site-architecture.pdf

 

Layouts

 

• Home page, version 1
  • A note on the architecture: the nav needed simplifying, so I moved a couple of items (news, partners) to be in the sidebars only.
  • I took a screenshot of Twitter's election page for the main content; this can be tweaked if need be
• Home page, version 1b
  • With logo v.2f, and new color scheme

 

Implementation

 

• I'm thinking that this should be a little WordPress site so that people can update it as needed, and that we will use embeds to display the actual data. Thoughts on this?
