Hi All... based on some preliminary discussions I've started to have with News Director Kirr and Encyclopedia Manager DarkJedi as well as movement afoot in the Council, I think it's safe to say that some big and MAJOR changes are on the way for NJOE. The most major since the site was created, probably. What you will see in the long run is a stronger vision for the entire site as well as a better focus on how we deliver news and a resurgence of the original Encyclopedia movement. However, things are pretty rough right now, so I don't want to go into a lot of details yet. I don't do this to be a tease (like I normally do, of course), but because with things in the rough stage right now, this is the perfect time to implement and consider new suggesitons and ideas from our visitors on how to improve the site.
So my questions are along the lines of... what do you value on the site - what's the most important part? What are ways that we're delivering content that aren't working or could be improved, or what we don't have that could be implemented?
The Encyclopedia, over the years, has hit a lot of struggles, but we think we've finally got the right movement forward to kick this into gear. Given that, one of the things DJ and I have been talking about is how we make the NJOE Encyclopedia unique - why should people come visit our content versus going to other websites that have the same content? What would make us truly unique to bring people in? What can't you get at other sites that we might be able to offer/create in terms of encyclopedic-content?
This impromptu survey is specifically designed to improve the main site - njoe.com - but comments for the forums are welcome as well.
