Committee debates which Woodstock events should get dedicated pages
Summary
The Woodstock Events Committee discussed a proposal to reserve full, dedicated website pages for events that lack their own sites while linking out to externally maintained event pages; members agreed to codify criteria for 'annual' or 'signature' events.
The committee discussed criteria for which town events merit a full, dedicated page on the site and which should be linked to external event pages. The Chair said the working assumption is that events with their own websites (for example, WASL or July 4) should be linked from an annual landing page, while events without an independent site could be given a site page: "I think we have a a dedicated landing page for that," the Chair said.
Members asked for an objective definition of "signature" or "annual" events so organizers understand why some events would receive dedicated pages and others would not. The committee named candidate events for the landing page—Wassail, July 4, Bookstock, Pride of Woodstock, Artfest, Market on the Green, East End Celebration and the Pentangle music series—and emphasized that the site should treat chamber- and town-sponsored events differently from privately run festivals. The group concluded that a short, written policy will be prepared to guide decisions and avoid perceived favoritism.
