Dear friends!

Thank you all for your contributions to this Google Group over the
last several months. Now that the new site at [link]
is up and running, we will be shutting down this group and moving the
materials and discussions to the BETA "organic group" on the new
site.

Dear Kabissa Web group,
We would like to inform all members on Friday of the new site and
invite them to log in and begin using it, so it is important to iron
out remaining bugs as soon as possible.
To reassure Sokari and myself that all is well, it would be a great
help to have the following from as many people as possible, as soon as

Dear Oby,

Thanks for submitting this information here - it is useful to share
and discuss the feedback. My responses are below.

Great! Glad you like the new look!

Whoops! Many apologies. I intended to acknowledge the source of this

Hello Oby!

I very much appreciate your contributions - they help!

Looks like you are trying to log into [link] which is
no longer the public beta site now that we have launched the new site
at [link] - you have probably figured this out by now.
Sorry for the confusion.

I have just been able to enter the web group page, and I posted a message. Buy for some reason it is rejecting my entry into the beta page saying authorization is needed - even after I have entered my username and password, it says "This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required." I will keep trying.

Dear Tobias,
My assignment:
The website wears a completely new look. It's beautiful and easier to explore. But I noticed that the picture on the "Learn about Kabissa" page is a CIRDDOC picture on breaking the chains of discrimination against women. I was taken aback, I thought that I was on CIRDDOC website.

Time for beta testing! :-) Please give feedback by next Tuesday, February 26th!

Greetings!

As you all know, we launched the new Kabissa website a few weeks ago.
The experience has been quite good and we are pleased with the result.
However, we have still not invited all of our members to come and
explore the site because we know there are still kinks to iron out.

Since Sokari Ekine, Dave Chakrabarti and I have been working so

Dear Friends

Following on from Tobias's email announcement on the launch of the new
site, we would be grateful for your feedback on the design of the site
and any bugs you find. The kind of questions we need answered are:
Does the site flow? How easy is it to move around the site and find
what you want? Do the headings and categories makes sense? Are there

Dear friends,

We are launching the new Kabissa site tomorrow, probably making the
switch towards the end of the day GMT, when Dave Chakrabarti and I can
both be available to monitor what happens afterwards. As soon as we do
we will let you know here!

Remember: the "beta" in the logo means the site is still being tested

Hello Adam and all -

We are making great strides at [link] and looking
forward to launching soon. It remains to be seen whether we will make
the switch on Saturday, but we would like to do so if possible! So
stay tuned for more news.

Oops - sorry, folks - I did not intend to send this notification. We
are updating the pages here on the Kabissa Web google group and the
new beta site to make it more friendly during the transition, and to
ease the process of finding and resolving issues as quickly as
possible. Even after the move from beta.kabissa.org to [link]
