Main project

15 July to 23 August 2019:

Site http://cern.ch/it-dep-cda is useful as the Usability tests showed. A summer student could finalise it by:

1. Replace the bubbles of page  https://cern.ch/it-dep-cda/services/ by another view, equally attractive but showing properly on mobile devices. Candidate layout to be discussed here (draft & incomplete). Done on 2019/08/12. See new https://cern.ch/it-dep-cda/services/
2. Follow the instructions in the gitlab README file for this site to enhance the User Stories of the site homepage.
3. Port the powershell based script that updates people section members (e.g. the names one sees on https://cern.ch/it-dep-cda/group/ic/)  to a non-MS scripting language to run on Linux.

Accomplished. Result HERE and old service page HERE. Final report in CDS HERE.
