CAN website

Presented by: Stephen Wood (CAN)

The CAN website serves as our public website and also hold pages for local groups, working groups and the committee. Since last year it also now holds our membership database.  Stephen does some of the maintenance to keep the website running, and some is done by our hosting company, Egressive.

Recent proposal from Tim Gummer: to improve usability and aesthetics- design and layout fixes.  Initial work to be carried out for free, but will charge for the work to be continued.  There is some useful stuff in the proposal- but need to establish costs and agreement.

Website issues to go to Stephen/Anne- webmaster@can.org.nz.
