But I don't know how to programme Drupal, which was my point in the first place about the designers and writers feeling excluded from the process because people have chosen to use something which we don't know how to use.

Jane

agree.

Also, can we doodle and see when everyone is free rather than just setting a date? I think there are a lot of strong feeling parties who care about this.

Jane

You're now hitting a deeper question of 'What is the website for?' True. I am a philosopher, after all. So, what do you think the website is for? If we were going to stick with this site for now I have a bunch of recommendations which I would like to discuss in a meeting. Some examples: the shop li...

Firstly, it's long a scrolly on the main page, which funnily, although correct me if I'm wrong, was a complaint about the current site. Yes, it's a complaint I've been making about the tumblr site too, as I've said before I would like to see this used behind a static pretty front page, like Gareth'...

Jane

There's nothing Tumblr does that that the current site can't be made to do over another afternoon of me & Milk slogging at it (especially if supplied with regular top-ups of coffee and cake) If that is true then that's great! As far I was aware from the notes from the meeting, the mention was of "a...

Jane

Though yes, in seriousness, can we put up the skeletons now? And also decide what our deadlines are for making it different? I am still in favour of changing to tumblr in the interim until we are happy with drupal . This isn't "tearing down" anyone's anything, it's just that primping and preening is...

I don't want to cause bad feeling, I just want it to look good and be navigatable for our legions of fans worldwide. This is our shiny face for the far-away world, after all.

In the meantime to cheer everyone up, here is a fancy accessory for your ignition:

I made a poll. Vote please, and let me know if there are any options I'm missing.

what sean said.

YEAH!

This is the kind of thing I like. This with awesome images, this linking to the tumblr for events which could keep updating all the time all new content and would sort it all organised. Yes yes yes yes yes yes. Lovely.

gutted

fantastic!

Jane

Hey! It is good to see we are all caring about these things and up for discussion. The ideas of a static front page and changing images are things that excite me. And what neil is saying about getting different people in to take care of different aspects is also good. We don't want to shut people ou...

*Like

maybe it is time we sit down and have a web meet some day? I think there has become a real schism over the past while, in that there are a lot of people who have artistic vision they would like to see in the website but who feel there is no room for them as they have little or no understanding of ho...

Jane

Hmnn, I love live music but jiggery fuckery is an institution and booked months in advance. There is always a group of people who come down specifically for that because they have planned their night around having a dance party to Dai and Jonathan. I am one of those people. They advertise, they get ...

Look, our lovely friend dan jones of wtcdtd fame is on the telly talking about virtual landscapes to some dorky bbc lady who thinks it's like doing futuristic yoga. Cool.

Grants are no more for good? Can we discuss this? I really think the grants are an awesome thing.

another unproductive morning

Jane

I don't think I understand what aggregate feeds means, oops, I think I just wanted to use some web speak to I sounded clever. Now who's the fool? Anyway, what I was talking about was the different reams of text/images that come up in columns on different subjects (eg, last week's events, current wor...

IS SO FUCKING GOOD! The best thing I have seen in ages. Congratulations! If I had money I would buy it all.

taxidermy is godly.

Jane

I don't know what other people think about this, but I was looking at our website today and - I'm really sorry but - I find the front page of it just totally overwhelming with information. Even as someone who knows the forest well and has a pretty good idea of what's going on, the myriad of differen...

*swoon*

Jane

this always reminds me of paper cinema

Jane

I meant the website was amazing....

i fear old milky. menu looks awesome. obviously I am always in favour of cryptic lechy menu descriptions. one thing I noticed - cider corkage is £1.20? Is this for massive ones? I kind of think the beer/cider should be less than a pint = 60p, more than a pint = £1.20 because bottles of, for example,...

I don't think it's a case of being insular, anyone can get involved in TK, but wanting to curate a gallery is a very different thing to wanting to decorate a cafe and paint on walls. I think TK is doing AMAZING work right now. I agree about the calls for help and informality. People have been saying...

Jane

I would have thought that FoH is more cafe and events. Sticking it at the start of TK where I imagine (correct me if I'm wrong) they have a pretty ongoing structured meeting discussion similar to what we do at publishing would probably not help feel part of a group (in fact would probably do the opp...

Did this happen yet? Life without big staplers is such a drag.
