[Chapter-delegates] Tracking issues/improvements for ISOC Website

Fri Feb 3 03:10:41 PST 2012

Folks,

to pursue this topic I set-up a preliminary private page to collect
Website issues. The content of this page will be fed into a tracking
system as soon as available. I had a conversation with Dan on this
yesterday. Dan will talk to the IT folks to get a tracking system
configured.

Till then I will volunteer to collect issues on my private page. So if
you encounter an issue that you want to report please:
 1. check the table (see below) to see if the issue is listed already
 2. drop me a mail describing the issue (summary, description)
 3. I'll add it to the list

Here the preliminary page:
http://klaus-birkenbihl.de/isoc-website-issues.html
This page is not linked from anywhere and - though it does not contain
any secrets - should be kept ISOC confidential for obvious reasons.

As said this is *preliminary* and only to make sure issues don't get
lost. I assume we will have a tracking system ready soon.

Cheers, Klaus
