Web navigation additions/refinements

[kcopas]

Hoping to capture ideas on the presentation I presented at breakfast on proposed additions and refinements to the GBIF navigation menus: https://gbif.box.com/s/tho05u06kka7n4gei8agok75kx9lzmcu

Already thinking about @dhobern 's post-meeting suggestion of a 'How to' menu item that leads to lots of top-level paths into the site:

• How to join the GBIF network
• How to publish data
• How to use data
• How to volunteer

et al.

Thoughts after Kyle's important presentation this morning.

General:

I support hiding goivernance to less visible section, look at the BHL website: it is primariliy for data access, you find governance etc. if you need in BHL wiki, but you don't bump into this when you look for pages in a particular book (or occurrence data or names in case of GBIF). As Donald says, traffic should show where people go.

As discussed, the biggest breakrthrough is to have a sliced data use tab, structure details are less imporant - so horray to this move!

Specific

• Data citation to the bottom of new Data use tab
• Ambassadors could one word, or correct full name
• I am not sure about backbone as part of data use, even with opinion-rich situation we have
• Niche modelling to the top inside featured uses, not own submenu: no matter how important, it is just one of the many analytical approaches we support.
