grids, engagement, troubleshooting, monitoring)• Issues / Concerns

How can communications best support EOT, engagement, and user support activities? How to satisfy different audiences in the website and twiki How to give each of our tasks/projects the “think time” it really needs? OSG web presences still don’t flow well

Osg.org – security twiki web – GOC pages Osg.org and Twiki in general Documentation home Need an “I can’t find what I’m looking for” link attached to a simple form

Twiki web owners maintaining their info – pages need regular review. Sidebar consistency. Use of multimedia on website

Additional Perspectives

• Met with Miron about communications Only important metric: how much effort

required to use resources effectively Not pleased w/ website; needs clearer

audience identification and flow Website-twiki-GOC flow inadequate Re doc: Do we need “OSG for dummies”

and “OSG for experts”?
