Next Steps
Significant tasks remaining:
- Finish implementing the new look & feel. Revised target date: 6/30.
- Define the new menu hierarchy, and categorize each content page accordingly. Target date: was 5/15, revised to 6/30.
- Once these tasks are complete, I think we should ask a select group of beta testers to review and play with the site for a month or so. In parallel, I'll be finishing up some behind-the-scenes tasks on the server.
Revised target launch date for the parity release: 8/1/2012.
