Re: Progress on press center Web pages; next conference call

Alan,

First of all - thanks for taking the time to do this! I have a couple of 
comments I'd to make on your press center mockups. 

I would eliminate the two current "in the news" and "Contacts" links from the 
existing ebXML main page and replace them with a single "ebXML Press Center" 
link that contains your proposed content.

This new page should be really focused on press related content. I suggest we 
replace the "background and white paper" link with a link labeled "Press Kit". 
We can use this as a placeholder for a variety of press backgrounder materials.

For the sake of clarity, could you change the "ebXML presentations at upcoming 
business and technical conferences" to something more compact, like "ebXML 
Speaking Engagements".

Based on the above comments, here's what I would envision the links on this page 
being. You would drill down on any one of them for more details.


Welcome To ebXML Press Center

o Press Releases
o ebXML In The News
o Press Kit
o Public Speaking Engagements
o Put ebXML News On Your Site
