Explainer Video

Sebastian: We need to pay before the end of September otherwise we need to cancel

Daniel: How much time do they need?

Sebastian: I need to ask them

Webpage Redesign

Sebastian: (showing the website)
... we can also update the links in the IG and WG websites
... I mentioned that it would be better to simplify the main page
... Coralie said that it would be better not to, since the redesign is going on

<kaz> WoT landing page

<kaz> WoT welcome page

Kaz: we should be clear about the names of those two pages
... and please remember that we cannot touch the WoT landing page which is managed by the W3C Team while we can maintain our own WG/IG pages

<kaz> WoT WG site

<kaz> WoT IG site

Sebastian: yes correct, we can put a link though

Kaz: I've been repeatedly explaining the situation and what we can/should do including the possible redirection from the W3C server URLs to our generated contents on the GitHub
... if my understanding and your understanding is the same, we should think about what to be put on the WG page URL and what to be put on the IG page URL now

<kaz> WoT WG site

<kaz> WoT IG site

Daniel: we should route to the proper URL for the WoT welcome page

Sebastian: How should the domain name look like?
... can we get a separate top-level domain name for the WoT welcome page like https://json-ld.org/ for JSON-LD?

Kaz: might be confusing for people if we get a separate top-level domain name for WoT

Sebastian: we want to release a homepage
... either under w3.org or a completely new domain name

<dape> what about using "https://www.w3.org/WoT/welcome" ?

Daniel: I think that we will never have w3.org/WoT custom built
... so that is why I have proposed the /welcome

Kaz: Again, if you've understood what I've been explaining, would it be OK to have the following three redirections from the W3C server URL to the GitHub URLs?

<kaz> https://www.w3.org/WoT/WG/ => https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/wg/

<kaz> https://www.w3.org/WoT/IG/ => https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/ig/

<kaz> "https://www.w3.org/WoT/welcome" => https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/

Daniel: The user should not see "github.com" as the domain but the content should be what is maintained on github

Kaz: Please visit "https://www.w3.org/WoT/WG/" to see what we already have
... As I've been repeatedly mentioning we've been already maintaining the WG page on the GitHub side with a redirection setting from the W3C URL to the GitHub content
... the user will see "https://www.w3.org/WoT/WG/" as the URL for the WoT WG page which is maintained on GitHub at "https://github.com/w3c/wotwg/blob/master/index.html"

Daniel: I think we should start with one of the possible additional redirections rather than setting up all of them at once, i.e., starting with:

<kaz> https://www.w3.org/WoT/welcome => https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/

Daniel: after checking there is no problem with that redirection, we can add the following two:

<kaz> https://www.w3.org/WoT/WG/ => https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/wg/

<kaz> https://www.w3.org/WoT/IG/ => https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/ig/

Kaz: Please note that (as I've been explaining) we can freely and safely add yet another redirection setting for the following two pages because they're our own group pages:

<kaz> https://www.w3.org/WoT/WG/ => https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/wg/

<kaz> https://www.w3.org/WoT/IG/ => https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/ig/

Kaz: However, I'm not sure if it would be OK to add the following redrection given the W3C Web site redesign project is still ongoing

<kaz> https://www.w3.org/WoT/welcome => https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/

Kaz: So I'd suggest we check with Coralie again to see if it's OK to add the redirection from "https://www.w3.org/WoT/welcome/" to "https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/" now.

Sebastian: I received an email from Coralie saying that we can publish the WoT welcome page itself
... So now I will take the action item that this page becomes online
... Let's get group consensus on wednesday then. In the meantime, I will talk with Coralie about the expected redirection from "https://www.w3.org/WoT/welcome" to "https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/".

RESOLUTION: we'll check with Coralie on the redirection to make sure, ask the whole WoT IG/WG for review and set up the redirection
