QMO Team Pages Template

This is a guidline to how all the teams pages should look. The idea is to streamline the information and standardize on one form in order to make it easy for new people to navigate the links and figure out what they are interested in.

Content

What we do

This section is aimed to provide somebody with a general jist of what this team does and what they work on. It should give anyone new a general jist of what is going on.

This would include

• Brief description of the teams responsiblities/relevant projects
• Primary source links (documentation, ect.)
• Wiki Links (General background)
• Live links (Active Work)

How to get involved

This section should include concrete steps to get involved with a specific team. We are looking for links to easy to follow primary sources. Anything that takes too many clicks or is too complicated will not be read by users.

One guideline to think about is can somebody contribute something meaningful in a saturday afternoon?
