Site Structure - accu-org/website-v3 GitHub Wiki
The information on the site revolves around the conferences, the C Vu and Overload journals, book reviews and ACCU's community aspect that shows in the mailing lists, local groups and study groups.
Further, the ACCU, being an association, has members. With it comes membership and a system to become member and prolong being a member of ACCU. Some information on the website is only meant for members, so the site contains parts that only members can access, provided they logged in on the site.
The menu must be short and clearly reflect the various themes of ACCU. To keep the menu clear and simple, member-only items do not appear until you are logged in. Thus avoiding the need to split the menu in member and non-member parts (provided this is possible). For example, when selecting Journals > C Vu, general information about the C Vu journal is shown, but no C Vu issues as these are for members only.
Apart from the on-site information made available via the menu, we can also think of some outreach information such as a link to Standard C++ and SyncNorwich and links to events of interest, such as Spring ISO C++ meeting, Agile on the Beach, SyncConf.

Content types: A single web site could contain many types of content, such as informational pages, news items, polls, blog posts, real estate listings, etc. In Drupal, each item of content is called a node, and each node belongs to a single content type, which defines various default settings for nodes of that type, such as whether the node is published automatically and whether comments are permitted. (Note that in previous versions of Drupal, content types were known as node types.)
