Web Guidelines

Important Web News!

Purpose of this Document

This document will eventually provide a complete guide to creating, formatting and organizing Web pages in the Cognitive Science hierarchy. This document will eventually address look and feel, formatting, HTML guidelines, and file naming and directory structure. Explicitly storing our collective knowledge about the Web pages in this centrally located "corporate memory" will make it easier to maintain and extend the set of pages we have.

The current draft of this document is more or less empty; see the Important Web News! for a jumble of the minor points that have come up so far. Look for this document to be expanded and thematically reorganized over the coming month.

For example, Points 5 and 6, and 7 in the News! are designed to simplify the process of eventually creating subdirectories by discipline (e.g., ai, psych, lcc, and so on.

If there are any questions or suggestions about these changes and the associated guidelines for new pages and existing links, please contact me directly and I'll incorporate them into this file. If anyone notices any errors in the examples I provided, please let me know.

Thank you for your cooperation.
