ALA partner page needs updating

[HannahScott1]

Hi @aatteia and @RobinaSanderson
Just realised that the partner page still needs updating- see bottom of this page- http://wpprod2017.ala.org.au/about-the-atlas/
I think we agreed that a list of partners with links to their website was better than logos as this is too difficult to maintain.
I'll get the list together (it will need to be checked off by a few people), but in the meantime can we remove this?

[RobinaSanderson]

Hi Hannah
So to be clear, you'd like to remove the View our Partners button (call to action) from the "Who we are" (http://wpprod2017.ala.org.au/about-the-atlas/) until the linked page (http://www.ala.org.au/about-the-atlas/atlas-background/atlas-partners/) is updated.

OR

Do you need the Atlas Partners page removed? As well as the call to action removed.

Hi @HannahScott1, as we are not going to launch until we get the appropriate approvals, we should have a week up our sleeves. In that time, I will mock something up for the partners page with the aim of it being ready for next week.

[HannahScott1]

Thanks @aatteia that would be wonderful! In the meantime, can you also please remove the button to the partner page from the "Who we are" (http://wpprod2017.ala.org.au/about-the-atlas/)". @RobinaSanderson and I are sending it to our friendly stakeholders for preview tomorrow and it could be a little sensitive the way it is.

[HannahScott1]

We can then just add the button back when the page is ready.

Hi @HannahScott1, I have removed the button and it can be put back into the page when we are ready with the new one. I have also unpublished the http://www.ala.org.au/about-the-atlas/atlas-background/atlas-partners/ page so that it is in the Private grouping in the WordPress page admin section http://www.ala.org.au/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=private&post_type=page which will mean that the public cannot see the page but we will still have access to it down the road should we need it.

[HannahScott1]

Thanks @aatteia ! If you can start to mock up the new partners page, I'll work on getting the list of partners that we should be recognising together.

[aatteia]

Yup.

[aatteia]

Hi @HannahScott1 How is the partner list coming along? The sooner I have it, the sooner I can get the page locked down.

[HannahScott1]

Will try to get to this today, if not tomorrow.

[aatteia]

Hi @HannahScott1 how is the text for this page going? Due to the importance of the page, I'm keen to get this done and up asap.

[aatteia]

Due to the complexity of this issue, a pin is being put in this for now.

Just adding some of my comments from the other issue I raised:

It was mainly to acknowledge those institutions/entities that had got together and made the original funding proposal to NCRIS for the ALA to be created.

I think we need to address this "history" of the ALA on this page.

In the footer we mention partners:

The ALA is made possible by contributions from its partners, is supported by NCRIS and hosted by CSIRO

I think we should link the "partners" text to that page and update the page with some background text.
