AMP Web
Editorial Board
This
month’s Newsletter shares with you some of the
“behind the scenes” efforts we are making to enhance our web
presence. We have established a “mock site” to help us
redesign and reorganize the website. Unlike
http://www.amp.org,
this site will be run by multiple people, under a specific
hierarchy, in order to allow each Content Editor to implement
their own updates with greater speed and efficiency. There
will be many writers, who will submit their content for
review, who in turn submit finalized content to publishers.
Efficiency is key, so our "mock
site" will
feature a sparse, easy-to-edit layout via Adobe
Dreamweaver/Contribute featuring
CSS. XML, Javascript and Ajax will also be implemented under
Dreamweaver. Multiple monitor resolutions and the ever growing
trend of modern mobile-based web viewing (iphone/blackberry)
have inspired a more narrow width of pages of the in-process
website. Viewers
will need to have javascript enabled in their internet
browsers. We are still working on establishing contribution
privileges to members of the web editorial board. It is my
vision that each of the content editors will oversee members
within their respective sections to provide timely content
for these areas. Introduced to you in the last
Newsletter, the “Content” team is comprised of
representatives from each of the AMP Subdivisions: Genetics
(Ron Przygodzki -
Ronald.Przygodzki@va.gov),
Hematopathology (David Bosler -
bosler.david@mayo.edu), Infectious Diseases (Wayne
Wang -
yfwang@emory.edu), and Solid Tumors (George Netto
-
gnetto1@jhmi.edu and Katherine Geiersbach -
katherine.geiersbach@aruplab.com). So as we engage
in this project, liaisons on the Board, Kathleen Murphy
(AMP Web Library Editor -
kmurphy4@jhmi.edu) and Alexis Carter (AMP
Test Directory Editor -
abcart2@emory.edu) will be working with us to push
this project to the next level. We will be working together
to integrate the AMP website, the AMP Test Directory,
and other aspects of the AMP website to make it easier to
navigate, so as to become a hugely powerful resource for
all. You will hear more from us as we increase our
operational capacities. Stay tuned for continued updates. If
you have suggestions, questions, or want to be more
involved, please do not hesitate to contact me or the other
members of the Web Editorial Board! |
