admin123 - 3 June, 2008 | Bangalore | Praja | Mysore | Pune

We are planning a re-structure of the website so that we can expand the site to reach the citizens of various other cities and citizen groups in these cities. Below is the summary of changes in brief.

When?

• The migration work will begin late Friday (6th June) night and might take a good part of the weekend. We should be done by Monday morning. During the changes, you might encounter some downtime.

What is being changed?

• Our homepage http://praja.in would contain brief titles of posts from all the cities. Clicking on the city's name title will take you to respective city's homepage and clicking on the title will take you to the post directly.
• You can access the homepage of the cities by directly visiting http://praja.in/city_name Forexample, you can see the homepage of the Bangalore praja site by visiting http://praja.in/bangalore
• You can access the homepage of a group similarly by visiting http://praja.in/group_name For example, you can access the homepage of Save Koramangala Working Group by visiting http://praja.in/skwg

What do I need to do?

• Basically, start visiting the site by http://praja.in and continue from there.
• If you have been visiting the site through http://praja.in/content , you now need to change it to http://praja.in
• If you had been visiting the site through http://bangalore.praja.in , you now need to change to http://praja.in/bangalore Similarly the Mysore site users will have to move to http://praja.in/mysore
• Update your bookmarks/favourites
• If you notice a link that does not seem to work anymore, please bring it to our notice by posting a comment on this post.

We will try to automate most of this as much as we can.

This is inconvenient; why are you doing it?

• This move was necessary to enable the site to grow and become a platform that could accomodate newer cities and citizen groups that are working towards a social cause.
• Since we do not have the luxury of dedicated programmers nor much of a previous experiene running a community website, our initial structure was fairly short-sighted. We hope this change in structure will make it easier for the users to locate the information on the site.

We will strive to make this change as smooth as possible. Thanks in advance for your co-operation.
