To help focus efforts on making sure the most used pages are the most up-to-date Google Analytics have been added to the websites that are being created.
It is a simple process that will allow site administrators to be more affective at focusing on what content users focus on.

ISOSU is next on the list of websites to be updated.
The ISOSU people are working to get the content up to date.
Once that is done the theme and menus will change, and then they can go live. With this ‘new’ site the menu system should be more usable and relevant to what the user is doing.

The structure of the SLI page seem like it is going to be changed. This is to facilitate a better representation of the SLI organization by reflecting its structure. This will include changing some of the locations of the content to help users find what they are looking for. Most of these changes should be made in week or so.

The first audit of the Drupal 6 MU and SLI sites have been completed. The both seemed to do pretty well, considering that the information was transferred into a Drupal format.
There will be another audit on the SLI site tomorrow, this is more focused on putting audio and video on pages.

As more and more OSU websites come ‘out of the wood work,’ there is a lack of coherence between them. This can make thing very difficult for students to navigate through them. So in order to make these websites more accessible to both contributors and user the MU is trying to format the website under its banner to a Drupal 6 format.
This has a two fold help: First, this allows people with a basic understanding of the web to add and edit content as needed, meaning things can be done in near real-time; Secondly, the general structure of the sites should be more uniform, in the hopes that user will have more pleasant experience using these website.
For anyone who wants to take a look at the SLI Dev site and the MU Dev site the links are:
