Interim Report for 2019-2020

Webmaster

Koichiro Eguchi, ASD-Webmaster

1. Specific Goals during the term

Asia Pacific Area Website (http://www.ysmenap.org/)
I served 4 years(2007-2011) as ASD - WEB. I renewed Asia Area Website at July 1st 2007. Since then I have continued to improve the web application which controls our website. I finished all the items of development at the end of August 2009. The web application of our website was completed.
The web application automatizes the following actions:
  1. reception of contributions
  2. request of approval to AP
  3. reception of approval from AP
  4. production and publication of web page in English
  5. request of translation in Japanese and Chinese
  6. reception of translation
  7. production and publication of web page in Japanese and Chinese
Ordinaly, the largist work of web master is production of web page. But Asia Pacific Area Website doesn't need this action. That is reason why "Immediate action" doesn't include "production of web page".

2. Measures to be taken to achieve the above mentioned goals

  1. To update the "Regions" page for 2019-2020, I will send e-mails to RDs to request them to send me:
    • their photo (if they want);
    • their theme;
    • the numbers of districts, clubs and members of their Region.
  2. To promote the contributions, I will send e-mails to AP, APE, PAP, AS, AT, ASDs, RDs, RDEs each month to contribute an article.
  3. To publish the contributed articles as soon as possible, the web server application program was prepared to accept, approve and translate the articles at July 1st 2019.
  4. To enrich the pages in Japanese and Chinese, I will send e-mails to RDs in Japan and Taiwan to request them the recommendation of translators.

3. Achievements Made

  1. Making the workbook for ACM2019.
  2. Making the workbook for MYM2019.

4. Challenges

  1. To finish the annual update as soon as possible.
  2. To promote the contributions.
  3. To publish the contributed articles as soon as possible.
  4. To enrich the pages in Japanese and Chinese.
  5. To be trained for the WEB development.

5. Future Activities Planned

Actuary, ACM & MYM workbook is made by the following procedure:
  1. Area Secretary requests a report to RDs and ASDs.
  2. RDs and ASDs write a report in Word or Excel form.
  3. They send it to Area Secretary by E-Mail.
  4. Area Secretary send it to Webmaster.
  5. Webmaster make web page from it.
But in the future, I'll make the following system:
  1. Area Secretary requests a report to RDs and ASDs sending Editor URL.
  2. RDs and ASDs directly make web page by the Tiny MCE (rich text editor).
