== Notes and action items ==
==== Digital Transformation Office ====
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
* [https://blog.canada.ca/2022/12/21/wayfinding-research-project Wayfinding blog post] and [https://blog.canada.ca/research-summaries/wayfinding-on-canada-ca.html research summary]
* GC web managers email will follow with instructions and timelines
==== COVID ====
* 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
** [https://travel.gc.ca/returning/sick If you get sick after travelling]
==== MPOX ====
* 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
==== Firearms buyback ====
* 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
==== Footer ====
* 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
==== Accessibility web content ====
Last week the templates were published, and departments have started using them:
* [https://test.canada.ca/accessibility/ accessibility templates]
* documentation
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.
==== Indigenous ====
* 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 [[Mailto:sean.mckibbon@canada.ca|sean.mckibbon@canada.ca]]
==== Sign in ====
* 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
==== Update from Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) ====
New institutional landing page and corporate pages going live on AEM next week, moving several hundred more pages by end of December
