<p>Thanks for sharing these examples Dirk, and to Kristin for asking
the question! We are continuing to think through this for the
responsibledata.io redesign and seeing how groups <i>actually </i>make
it work is immeasurably helpful. <br>

Hi Kristin,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Apologies as I missed your question: 'Do you know of
any NGO website that do a good job of providing valuable
resources front and center?’</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I think a great example is <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://databasic.io/en/" class="">https://databasic.io/en/</a> -
it’s a suite of tools specifically designed to enable learners
to learn about using data in a number of different ways. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">And also <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.idealware.org" class="">http://www.idealware.org</a> -
I like the dropdown menu on ‘browse topic.' I’ve been using it
for inspiration for a redo of the FabToolkit <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.fabriders.net/fabtoolkit/" class="">https://www.fabriders.net/fabtoolkit/</a> -
I want to set up a menu that says - Learn more about:</div>
<div class="">- Using Data</div>
<div class="">- Training and Facilitation</div>
<div class="">- Campaign Strategy</div>
<div class="">Etc.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Also check out School of Data’s online curriculum -

</div>
<div class="">And I would love to be a tester for any redesign
prototypes you do on your site. Do let us know how you progress!

<div class="">Hey all.<br class="">
<br class="">
Maya's email inspired me to reach out about our own
website redesign<br class="">
process (so thanks for sharing, Maya!). Sounds like
things are moving in<br class="">
a really good direction with that and I'm so glad.<br
class="">
<br class="">
We're in the very beginning stages of a <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://huridocs.org"
class="">huridocs.org</a> website redesign.<br
class="">
We still need to write up user stories, but we already
know that we want<br class="">
to prioritise meeting the needs of human rights
defenders (resources,<br class="">
solutions, advice, tools, etc) ahead of explaining our
organisation (our<br class="">
history, our team, our funders, our policies, etc).<br
class="">
<br class="">
I have this vision, much like the idea behind RDF, to
build up a<br class="">
community-created or community-sourced knowledge base
and really put<br class="">
that at the center of this website...but alas, I'm
afraid it might take<br class="">
a long time to build up those resources. So I'm here
wondering what a<br class="">
good middle-ground could be so that we can still work on
a new website<br class="">
as we add to this collection of resources. It would be
great to<br class="">
redesign/update and "modularize" many of our existing
resources (like<br class="">
our 230-page manual on the events standard formats
methodology for human<br class="">
rights documentation). This could be the basis of this
collection.<br class="">
<br class="">
But what I'm struggling with right now is finding any
examples of this<br class="">
idea. Do you know of any NGO website that do a good job
of providing<br class="">
valuable resources front and center?<br class="">
<br class="">
It's interesting that when I search for "knowledge base"
I find examples<br class="">
of how it's being used for call centers, for internal
staff, and for<br class="">
tech products (like <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.dropbox.com/help" class="">https://www.dropbox.com/help</a>).
I'm surprised the<br class="">
idea hasn't caught on yet for nonprofit orgs.<br
class="">
<br class="">
I know this is a really specific question so I apologize
if it's too<br class="">
narrow. But I would greatly appreciate any ideas, advice
or examples you<br class="">
have to share!<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks,<br class="">
Kristin<br class="">
