Differentiating the page
(http://www.nwmtbsa.org/wiki/Thread:Talk:Main_Page/Differentiating_the_page)
The information on the page was divided into two sections. The information on the left relates to non-urgent matters, while the right side deals with more pressing topics. This was done purposely to mimic the "Quadrant II/Quadrant I" paradigm set up by Steven Covey.
As of this writing, the page has lots to be improved, but for now, the Q2 section deals with Commissioner stuff, Committee stuff, and Fundraising. The Q1 section has Announcements (general information), Events (announcements specific to program activities), and a Blog feed. Building pages to feed into Announcements and Events should not take much doing, and can be managed by hand. The Blog feed presents a unique challenge, and may be better served by creating links to Talk pages or articles that need some critical work. A poll extension might also be an option for that space, although I haven't had time to look through the MediaWiki library to discover anything about surveys or polls.
