Figure out how to organize workshop information

[mxie]

There's a lot of other information about workshops that we don't have on redesigned site yet. The original thought was to put all of it on Eventbrite, but the event page is already cluttered as is with all the FAQs.

Here are some items that we should consider putting on the website instead of EB:

General workshop information (stuff that doesn't really change from workshop to workshop):

• Rough outline of workshop schedule
• Notes and reminders about what to bring, requirements, etc.

Workshop-specific information (stuff that changes for every workshop):

• Organizers
• Instructors/TAs - can be pulled from Eventbrite API
• Parking info
• Sponsors

One possibility would be to:

1. Replace "Curriculum" nav menu item with "Workshop Info"
2. Show dropdown menu for "Workshop Info" with items such as:

• General workshop info
• Upcoming workshop info
• Curriculum

@conchan, I'd love to hear about what your ideas might be behind this organization.

I like the 1st possibility more. Personally I have found the drop-downs on the current site to be confusing—maybe because there's 2 of them, and many of the links mean similar things to me. Drop-downs also make me feel like there's a LOT of information that I'd have to click through and read. What do you think?

I would have the nav item be "Upcoming Workshop" to specify that it's info for the next one. We can also link directly to this page for tweets/marketing/etc. Only hesitation is the amount of info that would be, but I guess most of it is already on a single page and we can see how to better lay it out.

Side question, should we rename "Curriculum" to "Docs" to match the site it links to?

I think the "Upcoming Workshop" nav item would work fine. We can narrow down the content of that page to just the following:

• Schedule
• Notes and reminders
• Volunteers (organizers and TAs)
• Sponsors

What we have a similar side nav like the Resources page for this content?
