werkgroepen at groenlinks utrecht, II: internet

I am convinced that well functioning werkgroepen of groenlinks must have their own internet site. The afdeling utrecht has done some work about it. So far it is possible to surf the site, and eventually come to descriptions of werkgroepen, mostly updated, with at least the contact data from the werkgroep contact person. The question is if this is enough. And if the asnwer is not, then what should be in a werkgroepen site? It can not be too much, because not all werkgroepen have the time, nor the expertise to keep a full site well updated.

Accordingly, I have here put together a list of site-items that I consider minimal for a werkgroep-site. It is my opinion that the afdeling should offer them as a possibility to the existing werkgroepen, and also offer the (minimal) expertise to keep this information updated. If you read further, there isn't more than what a normal werkgroep already does, or have. The proposal then, is to organize the existing way of working, the existing organization, and the existing products of werkgroepen, in internet. A party should be transparent, and werkgroepen are fundamental in the good life of a party. So, take a look at this list, and react! Should more be asked/offered? Or less?
