December 7, 2022 - Updates, priorities of the week

Meeting information

1. Updates

3. Roundtable

Have a list for forward agenda items for future GCWP meetings. Items the community would like to see added:

How are people using RSS, who’s subscribing
Google is limiting its analytics access
Health is working on an events calendar where regions need to be able to submit things on the backend, might be interesting to showcase next year once finalized
Educating people departments/setting up governance in departments
Data visualizations
Centralizing tools or making it easier to access things like Site Improve, A/B testing, Optimal, etc.
Tableau, PowerBI, etc.
ChatGPT
Ways of documenting design decisions without making documentation too onerous
Classification of web positions

Federal-provincial-territorial (FPT) meeting coming up next week

You can submit agenda items for future meetings if you have anything you want to discuss with the provinces/territories

The footer guidance that has just been released is connected to our wayfinding research project

NOVAX authorization went live yesterday, other one is tracking for end of week
GAC, PHAC and HC are collaboratively working on a travel page about return to Canada that has significant traffic
- If you get sick after travelling

MPOX is the new term for Monkeypox so it is being added to the keywords which will help with Canada.ca search
MPOX is a bilingual term

Web content is anticipated to be launched next week, will be part of an announcement
Actual program won’t be launched until next October so there will be lots of buildup, heavy marketing will happen in the spring
Will go in Policing, justice and emergencies theme

Contextualized footer can be implemented at the Topic level
Guidance suggests organization, theme and program as examples, but the intent is for it to be applied to a whole group of pages, not on a page-by-page basis
No accessibility concerns with links in footer not being underlined:
- When there are a lot of links underlined together they’re harder to see
- Links on current footer aren’t underlined
- AACT team has looked at this and had no issues

Last week the templates were published, and departments have started using them:

Feedback form setup: DTO set it up with field flow but Principal Publisher wants to use Post for the form. DTO will take this offline to get sorted.

New launch meeting for Indigenous theme happened this week
Want to get everyone together who should have content on these pages to ensure crosslinks and alignment on content
Still lots of work to do, so if you missed the meeting or want to engage/be invited to future meetings then reach out to Sean McKibbon at [[1]]

Big meeting last week about Sign in
There’s a recording of the meeting if you missed it and a sign in channel discussion in Slack where you can ask questions
Made a generic prototype so people can use it for the code and made a test prototype for IRCC
Have decided that the main page for Sign in needs a link to GcKey help page
Looking to take content on current GCkey help page and make a page on Canada.ca that really focuses on the key questions
Want to reduce number of calls about sign in, prepare for new digital initiatives and improve task success rate
Next up is research plan and get everyone to work their way through the templates

New institutional landing page and corporate pages going live on AEM next week, moving several hundred more pages by end of December
