About CellML
______
Legal
______
N.B. The major categories were unanimously agreed upon - the 'minor' two were also discussed. 'Legal' information may also be good to separate into its own category, but is not 'primary content.'
Also discussed
- Tommy mentioned that he has been investigating the idea of hosting the model repository in a subdomain such as models.cellml.org - a redirect from www.cellml.org/models could be implemented to reduce the impact of changing the path
- Organisation of content by tagging was discussed - this would take some time to organise and may require a higher level of maintenance, but would allow much more intuitive organisation and navigation of information
- The different groups of user we can expect to visit cellml.org we discussed:
- SBML.org presents information targeted at three groups: 'curious,' 'users' and 'developers' (primarily of software)
- This framework would also be relevant for cellml.org with the exception that we also host a repository of models
- Therefore, another framework to consider could be: 'curious,' 'users' (of models and software,) 'developers of models,' 'developers of software'



Google Analytics
Just to note, Gareth set up Google Analytics for www.cellml.org last week, which is starting to collect some useful information on what parts of the sites are visited and how. This may give us some clue as to the information that is currently important to users of the site.
