Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Dear SP Sir, It is indeed a humbling thought that you consider me so high up on your list. Are you sure that you want a zany and mad person's suggestions? Then I am all game! I shall definitely give my inputs. I'll come back to you after I have seen the web site concerned.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Dear Sir (Dr. S. P. Kalantri), I have just visited the temporary home page for the MGIMS web site - it is nice and loads fast... the later is very important. You would not want visitors to wait ages for the home page. I think there is an excellent example on the web - www.yahoo.com. Very few graphics, lots of links, news, humour, games and what not... but more important - it loads fast and has new information everyday. Of course we don't need all that stuff on our MGIMS web site... (In this context I would like you to visit the Sony and Panasonic websites - they have image maps, and/or huge graphics which are very slow to load even on cable connection) You could group visitors to the web site under different categories and design the site to cover these categories... 1. Alumni - would probably want to learn about how to join the mailing list, news about MGIMS, the MGIMS news letter, and would also want to contact fellow alumni working at MGIMS (or at least get their physical contact information). 2. Admission information seekers - should be able to get all the relevant information on how to apply, where to send the application, what all documentation to submit with the application, deadlines, travel information, etc. 3. Staff recruitment - posts available, minimum qualifications, quotas, etc. 4. I strongly feel that there should also be an information database on alumni and staff - addresses, email ID's, other contact information... that could be presented as " tabular data " or as a DHTML document. 5. Please incorporate the Google Search engine on the home page (its free and good). Some of the above were addressed in the old website... but not satisfactorily and not updated on a regular basis. All the above links must be presented on the home page, and all other pages that show up subsequently must be inter-linked. In that way when there is a " direct request " for a certain page the visitor is able to navigate through the rest of the website. DIRECT REQUEST. For example, suppose I have saved the member's directory page on my computer (or book-marked it), I must not need to go to the home page to be able to navigate to the MGIMS news letter page. That is about all I could think of immediately, I hope that is of some use, Ravin '82 > I shall be grateful to all of you if you'd kindly mail me your suggestions. Please let me know what specific features would you like to have in the revised version. I'd particularly like to have feedback on alumni association, message box, e-group etc. Also, could you please suggest me some institutional sites which could give us inputs for developing our website. > > From my side, I have told the designer that we need a site that is simple and is user friendly. > > I await your responses. Kishore and Ravin: you stand very high on my list. > > Here is the provisional URL of the site under cosntruction : http://www.mgims.addr.com/alumni.htm. ignore the typos and syntax errors on the home page: the text needs polishing too. > > Best, > > SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Dear Dr Kalantri, I think the alumni page can be revamped into a much more interactive one. I really loved the JIPMER alumni site. It records profiles of alumni, allows people to search alumni by name, batch, speciality and even as couples! It has a page for contributions by alumni, and a date wise record of the happenings ( deaths, additions to the family, achievements, campus happenings et al). There are links to webpages of alumni. There are pictures of all the silver jubilee celebrations. There's even a chatroom. It will be worth a dekko. The site is not the offical www.jipmer.edu but www.jipmer.org. Please see how much of it can be feasible in our setup. Because it will require a lot of work from the webmaster to regularly update the site, given our very active alumni!

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Dear Sir, I have just visited the planned website for MGIMS. I think it is a big improvement over the previous one. In my opinion, websites must have two appealing characteristics. One, as already pointed out, fast to upload. The other, which I think the new site is achieved is " uncluttered " . The only suggestion I colud give, is if possible when providing information about faculty, their email addresses would be very welcome addition.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Dear sir, Looked up the new website-does look far better than its predecessor. Its less cluttered than the previous one and appears more promising. The Community initiatives toolbar is a welcome addition- being the USP of our college. I checked up a few other websites-notably CMC Vellore, and I thought the suggestions below would be relevant in designing our website: · An “archived photo library-thumbnailed and indexed”- that depicts defining moments in MGIMS history beginning with the makeshift hospital of the 1930s.In effect it would also be a photo album of behenji and her role in our hospital. It could also include photos of the Sevagram ashram. I think Saranya`s suggestion of a directory with phone nos. and e-mail IDs of all faculty members is worth considering. · We could have a “virtual tour” section comprising photos of the 4-5 depts of MGIMS that stand out in aesthetic appeal-ICU, JBTDRC, the trauma center,the pych. rehab center and probably the college entrance. · A “news flash” icon that appears every few seconds-and opens up to display events of interest- PMT Dates, results, national and international honours won by students/staff in academic and extra academic fields. · A well designed " alumni database " , that provides for immediate access and allows for corrections, inclusions, and additions. CMC velore has a multiparameter search facility-based on first name, last name or yr of joining the batch . It would also be good if everybody could contribute batchwise all the e-mail IDs and if possible of their res.addresses of their respective batches so that a database can be created. · The mgims newsletters on the site can be maintained upto date. In addition they can be mass e-mailed to all the addresses in the database. · Lastly I think we could have an “Editor`s corner”, where you could select interesting articles from the journals/media once in 2-3 months of medical /non medical importance that you feel deserve attention. Sir, I know many of the above ideas would not be feasible due to constraints of webspace, finance or sheer impracticality! All the same, I m sure that our website will beat those of most other Indian medical colleges when itz finally out! regards, Ram prakash On Sun, 09 May 2004 SP Kalantri wrote : >Dear all, >For last several weeks, the MGIMS website, apparently not being able to stand Vidarbha's scorching summer, suffered a sun stroke. >We have been able to resuscitate and revive the site.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Dear Ramprakash, Thanks a lot for your very useful feedback. Yesterday I pulled up an old foxpro file that contained batchwise list (including addresses) of MGIMS alumni from 1969 to 2003 (about 1680, couldn't trace the missing ones) and converted foxpro into excel spreadsheet. I mailed it to the webmaster who should upload it on the site soon. I am happy to receive feedbacks from several alumni and e-group members, and would surely incorporate them in the development of website. Needless to say,I look forward to reading more feedbacks.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Dear sir, Reg the website, a few more suggestions: 1)when you prepare the address database, the addresses you have may have got outdated by now. Similarly girls have got married and many students have settled abroad. I suggest a system on the lines below for students to update their address profiles: a)enter your batch no(4 digits)+roll no.(2 digits). b)the display will show:the existing record is as follows: · NAME · MAIDEN NAME(girls) · BIRTHDAY · E-MAIL ID · Present address with country of residence · Tel no. · Permanent address(here the pre existing address at the time of admission may be entered by you acc to admission records-can be edited by the alumni if needed). · Further information of interest to be entered by the alumni (names of spouse and children, anniversary date, present place of work and designation). SUBMIT INFORMATION/CANCEL 2) if you intend to put up an archive photo section or a behenji section, it would be nice if the hum alone (not the chant )of the FIRST 3-4 LINES of the Vaishnava janato …assuming that it was her fav. bhajan, could be played softly (preferably just Once) so that it can waft along when the section is opened. 3)reg the background of the website wud it be gud if we could have a fine khadi texture in a light yellow/beige background? There are a lot of innovative background designs nowadays, could it be somehow blended into our website? Regards, Ramprakash > > Dear Ramprakash, > > Thanks a lot for your very useful feedback.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Dear sir, Reg the website, a few more suggestions: 1)when you prepare the address database, the addresses you have may have got outdated by now. Similarly girls have got married and many students have settled abroad. I suggest a system on the lines below for students to update their address profiles: a)enter your batch no(4 digits)+roll no.(2 digits). b)the display will show:the existing record is as follows: · NAME · MAIDEN NAME(girls) · BIRTHDAY · E-MAIL ID · Present address with country of residence · Tel no. · Permanent address(here the pre existing address at the time of admission may be entered by you acc to admission records-can be edited by the alumni if needed). · Further information of interest to be entered by the alumni (names of spouse and children, anniversary date, present place of work and designation). SUBMIT INFORMATION/CANCEL 2) if you intend to put up an archive photo section or a behenji section, it would be nice if the hum alone (not the chant )of the FIRST 3-4 LINES of the Vaishnava janato …assuming that it was her fav. bhajan, could be played softly (preferably just Once) so that it can waft along when the section is opened. 3)reg the background of the website wud it be gud if we could have a fine khadi texture in a light yellow/beige background? There are a lot of innovative background designs nowadays, could it be somehow blended into our website? Regards, Ramprakash > > Dear Ramprakash, > > Thanks a lot for your very useful feedback. Yesterday I pulled up an old foxpro file that contained batchwise list (including addresses) of MGIMS alumni from 1969 to 2003 (about 1680, couldn't trace the missing ones) and converted foxpro into excel spreadsheet. I mailed it to the webmaster who should upload it on the site soon. > > I am happy to receive feedbacks from several alumni and e-group members, and would surely incorporate them in the development of website. > > Needless to say,I look forward to reading more feedbacks. More the merrier. > > SP > > On Tue, 11 May 2004 ram prakash narayanan wrote : > > > >Dear sir, > >Looked up the new website-does look far better than its predecessor. Its less cluttered than the previous one and appears more promising. The Community initiatives toolbar is a welcome addition- being the USP of our college.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Dear SP Sir, I was wondering,if it was possible to incorporate a link for supporting/funding any the institutional/departmental projects for the people who want to donate the gift of.......tan/man/dhan,the last one being the most important of all!You never know one day while surfing on the net,if Bill Gates decides to do a major makeover change for our Institute,atleast he should know how to go about it,before he changes his mind!!.......) Another point,.......to give our institute a better chance for being listed on the top of all search engines,consider incorporating words like..........medicine,research,medical education,etc etc(can't come up with anything better) in the URL!!
