B-: The repertoire of the bio-biblio of our members is open to all and can already be viewed by everyone (except for personal info). It could be made more visible. It is mandatory for members to be in it, and it should be up to them if they want their personal info given or not. The web-designer should be able to create a way to let the members decide if they want they personal info visible by all or only by members (encode an option).
Members should be encouraged to link they bio-page to their own/professional websites, but most importantly for us, is that they put a link to us on their personal website. We need to emphasize it, and make it simple for them to do so. We need to be constantly reminding them about it, to update their biblio, picture, and so on.
Katherine's suggestion: I think it would be great for the Bibliographer (who will no longer be Charlotte I believe) to - in addition to encouraging members to update their profiles regularly, link to their CVs/websites, etc.) - be in charge of keeping up with new books coming out, prizes awarded to members, etc. and write articles about them for the front page. I think it would be fabulous to have at least 2 new articles each month on the website. This gives people a reason to consult the site regularly (and an email to members telling them to come see), which we will want if we are to get them to become involved in other aspects of the site (wiki, contributing announcements, etc.).
