The so called members portal is the section of the council website that took the longest to be of much use in relacing a fully functional list of members.
It is aparently a "pilot program" which begs the question where is the current working program?
If a group commits to a new program and removes the old one in favour of the new they are commited to it and can no longer afford to call it pilot, beta or other words indicating it as a test.
The following quote comes from this page
The Member Portal is a pilot programme and it is clear that some Members find it a useful aid to communicating with their constituents. Others feel less ethusiastic towards it.
--Paul Moore
I'd say that not only is it not ready to replace the original information page but that the members themselves are not ready for it to do so either. Which begs another question: Who the hell did they employ to make this waste of cache? Where is the analysis report on the subject that was issued prior to the changes? If one was created at all.
Users, memebrs or passers by who have access to this information may wish to more and I'd be greatfull if you would.
