Context

http://vivoweb.org is the public-facing, Drupal-based, Duraspace hosted, web site for the VIVO project.  It is currently (as of 29 May 2015 ) being remodeled and moved from Cornell hosting to Duraspace hosting.

Objectives

1. Create a modern look.  More like Twitter Bootstrap.
2. Create a responsive/mobile-first site.  VIVO must be perceived as current.
3. Focus on adopters and the "Why VIVO?" message (marketing).  Other sites have other roles:
   1. Github is for development – core development, ontology development, apps and tools development
   2. This wiki is for community participation – contributed effort through task forces, project governance, and reference materials

Deliverables

• A new vivoweb.org
• Maintenance procedures for keeping content up to date
• Recommendation for evaluation of the web site and on-going modification of design and content as needed

DRAFT Schedule

The work will be coordinated through the Duraspace "webpod" team.  VIVO community members will write content and assist with graphics and video as needed.
