This project was trying to improve the BIDS Online Presence, which consists primarily of its informational websites and the BIDS specification.
We were able to migrate away from a multitude of websites and condense down to mainly the one “New” BIDS Website.
Overall the project was very succesful with a wealth of work put in by the tech writer and mentors.
One lesson learned was we could have budgeted more for mentor time as it required more mentor time than anticipated.
For other open-source volunteer or community-driven projects in need of coentralizing and streamlining their own online presence,
this is a great program if you can define most of the tasks early on and dedicate mentor time alongside tech writer time during the project.

## Metrics

We performed a broad-reaching public BIDS community survey before this project started and a narrower website-specific survey at the 60% mark in this project’s timeline to assess the improvements being made to online materials.
Data collected on the overall utility of the old vs the new website indicated the new site was rated significantly more positively in 82% of responses overall. Key improvements noted were acceleration in accessing info, more intuitive navigation in both the search bar and the navigation tabs, and the feedback reporting page.
In user feedback collected on the overall utility as well as the ease of navigation of the old vs the new website (4 separate rating questions),
users rated the new site as either as good or better than the old site for both utility and ease of navigation in 94% of respondents.
Key improvements noted were acceleration in accessing info, more intuitive navigation in both the search bar and the navigation tabs, and the feedback reporting page.
