Needs Assessment Report and Recommendations
Needs Assessment Report
We now have the results of the Needs Assessment done by Sooryen (https://www.owasp.org/images/b/b2/OWASP_Needs_Assessment_Report.pdf).
The main takeaways of the report were:
- Clean up our navigation and content strategy to increase usability and search capability.
- Create a cleaner front page and select landing pages (such as the main Projects Page) so that people coming to our site can clearly figure out their next steps.
- Improve the wiki aspect of our site so that it is easier to use.
- Better integrate back end systems and communication.
- Create a distinction between business/organization information and App Sec information.

Now we need your opinions on the matter.

- Join a Twitter and FB chat on July 25th where you can discuss your thoughts with Ram Ganesan, Gin Cheng from Sooryen. Please share this information with your Chapters, Projects, Leaders, and fellow Members. It is vital that we have as much participation as possible in this discussion.
