Update About.md page copy

[safrazier17]

Overview

We would like to change the copy for the Operational Data Standard website to remove redundancies, organize information logically, and make sure all the information is up-to-date in advance of the planned public launch of ODS. This issue contains updates for the About page (about.md).

Requirements

• Replace existing text with following:

  About

  This website and the Operational Data Standard are maintained by Cal-ITP, a project of the California Department of Transportation. ODS was originally developed as a product of the Operational Data Standard Working Group, which was convened by Cal-ITP in 2021.

  For information about how the Operational Data Standard was originally developed, go to the Spec Development[internal link to Spec Development page] page. To see videos of past meetings or presentations regarding the Operational Data Standard, go to the Resources[internal link to Resources page] page. For information about the Operational Data Standard Working Group, go to the Working Group[internal link to Working Group page] page.

I'm looking at the new links on this page, and have some questions/suggestions.

Work in progress

In #10 I started implementing a Specification section with pages:

• Reference
• Revision History
• Development (one of the links from this issue)

Here's a quick screenshot from the preview site:

Does it make sense to house the Development page under Specification?

Different idea

Another thought I had was to leave the Specification section as:

• Reference
• Revision History

And then make About be its own section containing pages:

• About.md content as updated in this Issue
• Resources (from #8)
• Spec Development
• Working Group

Could potentially even combine the last two into a single page.

@thekaveman What you have under different idea is what I was hoping to see actually. That looks great. For the Working Group page, I was hoping to put in the actual membership of the working group, whereas the Spec Development group would be the steps that were taken by that group in crafting, specifically, v 1.0
