| + | |
| + | # '''Review of JamBoard exercise''' |
| + | |
| + | * Shared areas of focus and opened it up for discussion |
| + | |
| + | # '''Discussion around publishing long documents like transition materials (C58)''' |
| + | |
| + | A good discussion was had where colleagues shared how they approach issues with extremely long documents like transition materials. |
| + | |
| + | * Accessibility is extremely important - prepping the content creators ahead of time saves headaches |
| + | * Style guide is important but choose your battles as timelines are often short, moving to an approach where the Canada.ca style guide is applied for all comms products since nearly everything ends up on the web, will help with this issue in the long run |
| + | * Moving to a “design for digital first” approach can also help adjust the content development process |
| + | ** **be careful to develop a product that still flows into the overall Canada.ca experience and IA |
| + | |
| + | Brian Golden & Michael Lawson both have some checklists and documentation to help advise teams who are developing this content ahead of time so that the documents are in better shape for web publishing. They’ll share resources through the Slack channel and have been invited to present what they have to the group at a future meeting. |
| + | |
| + | Thank you for the discussion. If you have any other comments, please let us know. |
