Topic: *Accelerator* Home???

OMG @Joshua Procious why on EARTH is this resource-packed page called Accelerator Home?? I can see that it's targeted at Accelerator people, which I'd define as "Motivated people who are new to HL's byzantine ways". Guess what: our Patient Engagement WG has a bunch of people who fit that definition too. :slight_smile:
Maybe call it Newcomer Home, or Welcome Newcomer, or HL7 Newcomer Orientation? Or "Feel lost? Want some maps?" :-)
HT @Debi Willis for finding this! I imagine @Lloyd McKenzie and others will be happy that we may need less WG time for such things.

It was mentioned on the recent HL7 Member Update Webinar and a light bulb went off in my head :) https://www.pathlms.com/hl7/courses/21438/video_presentations/164979 I could see where it would benefit any newcomer.

matters not why, matters only that we make this visible to 'all newcomers'.

Agree - I was only tweaking the ever-helpful-and-capable @Joshua Procious , with a side order of "Maybe this could actually be a useful idea :slight_smile:
I'm certainly going to remember this as a go-to for new members.

Hello Dave! Your point is well received and although I did create this page and have done work on it, I am not the one responsible for its naming. If the community would like this changed to a more inclusive name, I'm happy to do so. @Melva Peters and @Ken McCaslin have done most of the work here so perhaps they would be helpful on input as to how its name could be changed?
Now as far as getting the word out, with name as is or not, that's a great idea. I will discuss with Melva on how we may roll this out so that workgroups have more visibility!

@Dave deBronkart @Joshua Procious Hi Dave, I'll discuss this with Wayne and see what we can do - the page was developed for the Accelerators in mind so they have a place they can go to find information and some of the content on it is intended for the Accelerators. We have been promoting it as a place to go to get information. I'm glad you found it and find it useful.
