Matthew,
We're working with Jeroen on updating the RIS pages for the new web server now, and I'd prefer not to have multiple people working on the site.
What is the basic idea and/or scope behind this risintro page?
This came up when the announcement for rrc12 was put online. The text there assumes that one knows what the RIS is. Somebody then suggested to have a short 1 page intro to the RIS for people who get the announcement but haven't heard of the project.
Linking the news flash on www to the risintro page is fine with me, better than diving immediately to the RRC12 specific page, but to set the record straight, all I suggested was to have a page with text similar to the announcement that was send out to the ris-users mailing list. Visitors to www.ripe.net see a news flash "Route Collector deployed at xyz-IX" and when they want to read more on this, the link should bring them to a page with relevant information. (which, next to details on deployement at the specific location, could have some words on RIS in general too). As such a page can easily be reused when a next RRC comes online, maybe it's an idea to design some template in the context of the current RIS pages restructuring work? Cheers, -- Rene P.S. All this was triggered by an external user pointing out to me the date on the announcement at www.ripe.net was wrong :)
