Collected suggestions for site improvements
« on: May 22, 2006, 02:33 am »
I wanted to mention some of the requests that have been made regarding improvements to the site and open them up to the general SMNetwork community for comments and prioritizing.  Many of them are quite valuable and will make substantial improvements to the site, although some of them are already in place, albeit somewhat tough to locate.

New features that could (and probably should) be added:
1. Job descriptions of the various "tiers" of SM work (PM, PSM, ASM, DSM) -- I think the current "job descriptions" area could be easily expanded to handle this.

2. Working with assistants/finding assistants.

3. Better handling of the resume gallery.  Apparently right now it's kind of hard to find.

4. More prominent list of schools that feature good theatre programs.

5. New suggested forums:
a) Diplomacy and interpersonal issues
b) Tools of the trade
c) Job hunting
d) Genre specific SM forums (opera, dance, events, industrials, etc.)
e) Self Employment/Freelancers forum

6. A calendar of SM related events.

7. Better and more robust forms gallery.

8. Monday night real-time chats.  We've got a chat room, we should use it!

Any comments on priorities for these can be posted here.  Please bear in mind that some of these things cannot be implemented well with the site in its current structure.  A complete redesign is going to take time -- I finally know enough PHP to redo this site from scratch but it's going be October before I can really get into it with both feet.  Feel free to toss out more suggestions, too.  This is your site.  I just code here now.   :)
