I'm Taking Charge. Ideas for the New Site

[LandonCook]

Great work, please see it through. We need more stuff like this, more organization, more leadership from within the grassroots.

I want to organize this with other anti-war movements as well...

 

[LandonCook]

No problem with that, I like it because I was thinking of all the little things that will be tied into the theme of the site. Also it is brandable and makes one think of a casual meeting place, well, like a bonfire. If you come up with another idea feel free to shoot.

Everything I have here I consider a top priority^^^

RonPaulForums / Projects Forum / Live Support / Grassroots U.S Map / News Ticker

Their site looks okay, I'm sure I will do better. I have been working with graphics design, particularly web design for about 8 years. Unfortunately for you, I've decided to handle graphics design last this time around (since I usually design the GUI first, then program later). This project is pretty programming intensive since I need a lot of custom applications, so I did it programming first I need to go back and skin it.

Since you asked so kindly, I may be able to show you a demo tomorrow with some screenshots of the design, but I cannot pull up anything right now for you.

Constructive criticism is always welcome.

You there?

We should make this the forum for the new site, that way everybody gets transferred to the new site automatically.

You there?

Yep, I'm here and I am putting myself to work right now.

I went ahead and cracked open illustrator and photoshop to put together a design to showcase for everyone.

Yes, that is what I was planning on doing (having this to be the forum for the site). No sense in jumbling everyone up, the community going on here is good. I wouldn't be able to automatically add everyone without harvesting this site's database, which I doubt the admins would be thrilled with. I think that taking a minute to sign up on the new site will not be too hard for everyone to manage.

Thats not going to happen...

When I pitched this idea a few weeks ago, I was yelled at and called a troll......WTF?

People said that the "artistic flow helps more work get done"

QUOTED.

Hey Landon, it would be excellent if you went ahead and prepared content for the U.S. grassroots map, live support, and whatever else that you feel is real important to get on the site. I can handle the Live Support, RonPaulForums RSS integration, News Ticker, and all of the "Architecture" of the website.

That would be a killer way to split up some of the workload since it is going to be near impossible for me to design any content since I'll be mostly busy with the actual site framework.

No worries, that will not be happening.

Better yet, I'll have the community pitch in...

Any Idea when the new site will be up?

 

[Opulen]

[yongrel]

Are you "reinventing the wheel" as far as meetup groups are concerned? I'd rather see full integration of RPF and Meetup than replacing that functionality. You already have thousands of RPF members and almost 100,000 Meetup members. It's critical to reach out to those two groups, since they contain the vast majority of the activists.
