New cetis site mockups

Posted on by

I’ve been working with Scott on some mockups for the new cetis site as we see it. The general concept is to give everyone a blog using wordpress MU which in turn drives a very lightweight front page. This will not make full sense until combined with Scott’s set of diagrams – but hopefully the mockups will give you an idea of what we have in mind.

Front Page

Community (SIG) page

The Sig sites are served by a “CETIS Communities” wiki – shared between the sigs so for example discussion of a given spec will be all in one place. Provided by mediawiki.

Personal Blog

The missing piece of this at the moment is an events handling system. Ideally this would be integrated with the user-registration for one-click sign-up to meetings – how nifty would that be!
