Overall, I think we should revise the current homepage to include all additional things rather than just discarding it. This should focus on the NTM but it is essential that we retain some reference to our other projects if we are going to use NTM for a exposure of our work.

Regarding the logo, I like the notion of using the fancy "Sustainable America" writing in conjunction with the star logo. These are both seperate GIF's so we could shrink one or the other to take less space. I think the logos must link, as this is expected in the web culture, but should have "main" as the target so our TOC frame remains.

I like the link you suggest to NTM (PCSD NTM Index Page), as it gives an overview of FAQ's. However, if we use it, is is essential that we first get the Virtual Schoolhouse linked from the "How can I participate?" link or someplace even more prominent. We must get some link to our curriculum, news center, "roving reporter" bios, or something ASAP.

What you have described for the homepage leaves a great deal of space for us to do something more to provide exposure on our solar schools concept.

Navigator concept looks good. I like the idea of teacher and students tracks, but should we include something more explicitly for INET News, like reporter and reader tracks, as well?

Unfortunately, we have very little in the way of classroom activities to work with. We need to have more discussion on this concept, what is our vision of it is and how can we begin to create more material. Providing solid academic educational material takes a greate deal of research if it is to be well prepared.

On the student track, I would like to create material around the notes I sent on "roving reporter" assignments. David is sharing these ideas with the coordinator of the National Roundtable, so we should have a solid foundation from which to build the delegate/reporter track.

As well in the student track, I do not understand the reference to fundraising and Adventure Quests.

As for fun interactive activities, I would suggest the E-footprint calculator, or the carbon calculator (not yet in the Quests) as they provide solid comprehension as will link directly to key concepts in displays at the Exhibit Hall

As for general comments, consistent icons would be good. If we use a smaller NTM logo, I suggest changing this throughout the schoolhouse Goal Quests as the logo currently takes up a great deal of space. The "Voice of America's Youth" idea is good too.

Finally, one radical idea. Should we change the layout of the schoolhouse itself, or move NTM to its own schoolhouse? It would be nice to give their logo top line billing since it is the focus of the whole thing. We could put the SQ TM logo somewhere less prominent, but big and by itself it tends to flaunt the for-profit feeling in a way which I think detracts from our message.

How do we proceed from here? I would love to assist Ron with layout drafts and am open to tossing ideas around a bit more.
