Next week Nick, Julia and I will be rehabilitating, refurbishing and revamping The Gondola Project.

While the site continues to experience a growing readership and subscriber base, there’s simply too many usability issues. We want to make the site as useful and easy for people as possible and it just isn’t right now.

Three things I want to see in the new update:

• Ongoing project pages – Projects that are in the planning, construction or testing phases with up-to-date links to reports, updates and commentary.

• Conceptual gallery – We’re gathering a pretty good set of urban gondola concepts and it would be great to compile them all in one place.

• Image gallery – I’d really like to improve the functionality of the image galleries so that they’re more than just links to our flickr group.

• And speaking of the flickr group – we need to spend some time organizing it. It’s a total mess right now.

I’m sure there will be more beyond those, so if you have anything you’d like to see more of (or less of) let us know in the comments. Furthermore, if there’s a feature on the site you’d like to see but currently don’t, let us know as well.

This will be a far more comprehensive overhaul than our last few minor updates, so please let us know what you’d like to see.
