The new OTW website!
Oct. 1st, 2008 06:05 pmbethbethbeth.livejournal.comThe Webmasters are pleased to announce the launch of the new website and blog.
http://transformativeworks.org
In addition to a facelift, the website now has several spiffy new features that increase the ease-of-use of the site. The most important of these is the blog, which will be taking over from otw_news as our primary information service. It will also allow all comments to be centralized in one (non-LiveJournal) hosted by OTW itself.
Features
We’ve been working hard to introduce a number of new features for site visitors, including multilingual options (take a look at the language switcher on the left), a new site-based OTW news blog (you’re reading it), and the ability to comment on this blog, with or without creating a site account (or you can use an OpenID).
Feeds
There are several ways to track updates to the site and blog:
A feed for all blog posts is available.
The on-site Tracker is a way to find updates while using the website.
Finally, there is the Yahoo!Pipe feed, which combines both blog posts and all updates to the website.
How the blog works
The blog will post all the things you've seen in the past on otw_news, such as newsletters, calls for volunteers, spotlights on OTW committees, and updates on our projects. This information will be re-posted on our other news services:
LiveJournal mirror (otw_news)
InsaneJournal mirror
del.icio.us
Follow OTW on Twitter
OTW news Yahoo Group
RSS Feed
Atom Feed
You can leave comments on the blog much as you would on the journaling services, by creating your own account or using OpenID, or simply by providing a name and an email address. The blog operates under the Website Terms of Service, which includes this comment policy:
What about otw_news?
Not a lot will change. The big difference is that otw_news will become a feed service for the blog – all the same content will be mirrored there, but commenting won’t be turned on. All comments will be centralized on the blog, which will allow fans from different communities who use different blogging or social networking services to engage on equal footing.
Basically, if you’re subscribed to the feed on LiveJournal or a clone, sorry, we don’t monitor any comments there! Come on over to the blog to reach us – the link to our comment page is given below.
Feedback on the new website
We are very excited to finally be sharing all these new features with you, and we hope you enjoy the added functionality the website and blog offer. We know everything may not be perfect yet – so take a look around and tell us what you think! We’d really love to know if you have ideas for improvements or can point out things that work differently than you expected.

poll: select a URL (round one of two)
May. 30th, 2007 03:21 pmainsley.livejournal.comAs per the discussion in this post, the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fanarchive project needs a name--more than one, in fact. At the moment, we need to identify the URL which the archive will use.
There were far too many suggestions for a radio button poll, so voting will take place in two parts. For this first part, vote for as many or as few options as you like. Voting runs through 17.00 (5:00 PM) Monday, June 4. Monday night I'll post a poll of the top 10 choices for the final decision; that voting will go through Monday, June 11.
[Poll #994162]
