[Neuropostdocs] new NSP web design

[Sam Beshers]

Dear NSP Postdocs and Students,

We, the program, are about to embark on a wholesale revision of the web 
site.  We are hiring an outside company to do this:  they have given us a 
reasonable price, they have done some very nice previous sites, and they 
have good artistic skills and acquaintance with biology and medicine.  Our 
target date for completion is June 15, and we are looking forward to having 
a site with a fresh professional look and ease of navigation.

I'm writing to let you know what's happening and what we will be asking of 
you, and also to see who is interested in helping with the process.

We are planning to have a page for every student and postdoc associated 
with the program; what we will ask you to do is to provide us with the 
content for your page, including a picture if you are willing and able.  I 
will send out a call for this material as soon as we're ready to receive 
it, but it's not too soon for
you to start getting this together.

There will be opportunities for some of us to attend meetings where we may 
approve or critique the appearance and navigation structure of the new 
design.  If you are interested in participating, please let me know.  There 
will probably be two or three such meetings.  No commitment is required; I 
just want
to give everyone a chance to have their say.

If there's anything that you definitely want to see in the new site, re 
content, please let me hear about that, and the sooner the better.  Of 
course, we can always add more once the site is in place.

Sam
