Currently we’ve been discussing the inherent value of adopting web principles as guiding direction for our internal teams. As one of the first posts on this blog, Jason worked toward a definition of the Content Management and Online Colaboration team.
Building on this, we’ve been on the lookout for other groups’ Web Principles to help us define our way forward on a larger scale. Tom Loosemore posted a while back on the BBC’s 15 Web Principles they developed and sent to their board for signoff.
The power of defined principles as credo is obvious: they would provide and communicate clear direction and would ensure that the web-company half of Capella is providing what the leadership is asking for (and conversely, so that the senior management is also in lockstep with the slightly-more-progressive elements of the internet today and what we could provide).
Thoughts? If we looked at the BBC’s principles as a rough draft, which fit particularly well and what’s missing?
Let us know what you think.

I like the list. I wish I had more time to think about it. Number 7, best practices, I think is extremely important. I’d like to see educational websites work together to develop a set of best practices. Number 8, link forever, I don’t know how you can accomplish that, but if you could it would surely save a lot of frustration on this educator’s part.
