Hello Everyone!

The MEFA site is getting a makeover, a complete re-write from the ground
up! Nothing about how the awards function will be changing (except for
the usual little tweaks we have each year), but the 2011 MEFA website
will be entirely new!

So why am I posting about this now, when the 2011 awards is so far away?

I have the new site to the point where it's kinda sorta functional,
so now I need input from you, our MEFA participants, to help test and
refine how the new site will work!

I need testers of every level of computer experience, whether you're
new to the MEFAs or a veteran This will be spread out over several
months as I work on the new site, so this won't be time intensive.
I'll just need some testing and feedback whenever new features are
added to the test site <http://mefawards.fancrone.net> .

If you are interested, you will need an account at the mefa-discussion
Yahoo group <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mefa-discussion> , which is
where all of the New Site discussion will take place. I have a "sign
up" post
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mefa-discussion/message/2410> over
there, so I can create an account for you at the test site, plus
I'll explain more about what is involved and expected.

Thanks!

Ok, my first impression is - I love it! :))))) Black&white layout is sort of unusual on the first sight, and my first thought was - hey, where are the colours? But then, it is ok this way too. :) I really love images of Minas Tirith and White Tree in the header, and black&white design fits in because of them... or is it the other way round? :p
 
Anyway, I hope I'll be able to help with testing. ;)

P.s. When the time comes, I'll have a few suggestions, too. ;)

Hi Ellynn,
If you're interested in volunteering, I'll need you to sign up over at
mefa-discussion
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mefa-discussion/message/2410> (so I can
keep a list of volunteers in one place). Once you reply to the sign-up
post with the requested information, I can make you an account on the
test site.
Thanks!Aranel
