Welcome to the UNL Web Developer Network
The WDN is the group of UNL web developers tasked with creating templates and standards for the UNL website. This website, the home of WDN, makes resources available for publishing information on the Internet.

The Web Developer Network operates by consensus, and a comprehensive list of standards (the Style Book) has been created to achieve a consistent experience for the users of UNL websites. The Style Book is the guiding document for the WDN Quality Assurance process, which produces a monthly Web Transition Progress Report (available here in PDF) for UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman. If you'd like to report the progress of your website transition, please enter your site information in the WDN Registry.

A Note on Decorum, and All That
The Web Developer Network does not have its own rules for the way in which members interact with each other, either in person or online. As employees of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the standards of UNL apply here. In recognition of the fact that our mission may often involve discussions in which strongly held opinions are brought forward and finding the best answer among many alternatives is the goal, please always keep in mind that we are professionals, and that professional conduct is expected in all communications. (That doesn't mean that we can't occasionally have fun.)
