TG indicated that this would now be sourced from LBi more cost effectively and that a package of work could be put together.</p> <p><strong>Action:</strong> CH to ask Gareth Sully to scope requirements and pass to LBi </p> <p>Stats Update - CH provided an update in relation to high hit rate for 3rd Dec 98. A number of possibilities were outlined but it was concluded that this would have been the change of the then Leader of the Opposition in the House of Lords.TG also clarified the definition of a visit as compared to other metrics.</p> <h2>2. Progress Update - Programme Dashboard</h2><br/><br/> <ul> <li> <p>Works of Art went live 14/01/10 The Board congratulated all who have been involved as this was a major and challenging work stream</p></li> <li> <p>Both advanced search on the website and intranet search are scheduled to be live by the end of February 2010. <br/>Work continues to progress well on CMS Migration </p></li> <li> <p>Training timetable has been drafted but some negotiation with individual staff will be required</p></li> <li> <p>Committees templates are 99% agreed Education team has successfully launched MP for Week which has been well received. Thanks to all involved from the Board.</p></li> <li> <p>PICT (Tech Services) resources are still not in place though recruitment is underway.</p></li> <li> <p>Web Architect has resigned and a replacement is required.

TG outlined some applications (Calendar, Maps & Annunciator) that are being progressed. JPay & JPullinger requested the project talk to Official Report & Robert Rogers (Order of business) to take forward in the future</p> <p><strong>RACI <br/></strong>RACI has been re -issued; however a couple of amendments are required for Living Heritage and Intranet </p> <p><strong>Action:</strong> TG to discuss mobile applications with Robert Rogers </p> <h2>3. Content Guidelines</h2><br/><br/> <p>CM provided an overview of the Content Guidelines and style guide.</p> <p><strong>Action:</strong> Board members to provide feedback to Catriona Marchant </p> <p>The Web Centre (& Editorial Group) is looking for feedback and endorsement of the guidelines.</p> <p><strong>Action:</strong> CM to engage the Comms Offices and Lords Hansard </p> <p>JPullinger requested that the Internal Communications Offices of both houses were engaged with the aim to develop a single and common approach to style and writing guidelines.</p> <p><strong>Agreement / Endorsement:</strong> The Board endorsed the Content & Style Guidelines. They also endorsed the principle of seeking to move incrementally towards a single style guide. </p> <p>JPullinger added that he would support the progression of single parliamentary style guide.</p> <p>It was recognised that the move towards a single style guide would be incremental but MO stated this is s a good starting point.</p> <h2>4. Bills Online</h2><br/><br/> <p>Jackie Ahrens and Robert Brook provided an overview and demo of the Bills Online prototype and sought approval from the Board to make it publicly available so that feedback can be used to make improvements.</p> <p>The prototype would be linked to from Parliament http://parliamentlabs.wordpress.com/ rather than the Parliament website.</p> <p>LHS thanked RB for the work so far and the interesting possibilities this raises. On publication we should make it clear that this is a test site, and explain how it fits with our broader content development strategy. The Board agreed on this basis. In addition to this activity, it is important to advise other organisations that receive Hansard and Bills information (DoDs, They work for you) that this is available.</p> <p><strong>Action:</strong> JA to speak to Susan Murphy </p> <p><strong>Action:</strong> JA & RB to ensure David Natzler see the prototype. </p> <h2>4. Readiness for the election</h2><br/><br/> <p>LHS asked whether there are sufficient resources available to the programmes to meet our collective priorities? Are there any gaps or conflicting priorities? Do we need to re-prioritise?</p> <p>The potential pinch points were identified as developer time and web centre design resources though these are being effectively managed at present </p> <p>JPullinger identified that the website and intranet are far more important as communications tools than at the time of the last election. They host much more content and we expect them to perform many new and different functions. We need to ensure that they meet the needs and expectations of colleagues and new Members.</p> <p>CM stated that the Web Centre is quite well placed in this area as they have been working closely with the HCIO and Commons Library on Election activity.</p> <h2>6.
