Web Group
Paul gave a demo of his changes for the icons at the footer.
Jon gave a demo of his changes that read in text of each section to the DOM (document object model). The index page stays on the url no matter what page is displayed.
Jon will modify the current design to allow users to bookmark specific pages (schedule) within the website. And possibly help with web crawlers to search all of our pages this way.
We should ask Ralph at devops meeting why there's a redirection from the tssg.tech url to technologynursery.
Before leaving the meeting, Jim T. asked the group to feel free to add a User Story (in Jira, or a Suggested User Story in Confluence) that says "As an x I want to see an About page so that y". We'll see that such a story goes in the backlog, one way or another.
Mark offered these links for information related to our discussion of mission statements for TSSG. Maybe we could add an 'About' page.
