[chairs] OASIS TC Public
Home Pages

OASIS TC chairs:

The public homepage for each TC is its face to the outside world. This
is where prospective participants, implementers, business

decision-makers, industry analysts, and reporters go to learn about your
work. It's the first place people look for the latest

announcements, specification releases, TC white papers, presentations,
webinars, and other related information. 

Currently, some TCs make better use of their public homepages than others,
and the location and inclusion of important data varies

greatly from TC to TC. 

To address this situation, OASIS staff have developed a template for Committee
public homepages. This template will ensure that key

information for every TC is provided in a consistent format. All new TC
homepages will be created using this template and existing

TC homepages will be transitioned to it over the next two weeks.

Appreciating that TC chairs have different preferences, schedules, and
sensitivities when it comes to this task, we're offering a

few options that will ease the transition for everyone.  Please select
the one that works best for you and inform

 of your choice.

Option 1: Those who are comfortable using an XHTML editor may implement
the new template themselves, provided they have time to do

so before 30 December.

Option 2: Those who would prefer to review the required data fields in
the template may simply email the information to

 by 23 December, and OASIS staff will plug it
in and upload the formatted page.

Option 3: OASIS staff will take the lead in creating the homepage (chairs
are always free to edit the text at any time). Staff will

contact chairs directly with specific questions or requests.

If you prefer Options 1 or 2, please let us know by sending email to 
before 20 December. Otherwise, we

will assume you want staff to initiate the transition.

The template is located at http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/TCPublicPageTemplate.htm,
and instructions for its use are at

http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/TCPublicPageTemplateInstructions.html.
Guidelines for creating and maintaining pubic pages for

OASIS Committees are at http://www.oasis-open.org/private/maintain.php.

Our goal is to have all TC homepages formatted using this template by the
end of December. We appreciate your assistance in making

this possible.

Best regards,

Carol
