Hi Beth,
Thanks very much for your feedback. Every WEGO page is a work in
progress, and the ability for anybody to suggest links is an integral
part of that. The site is currently in BETA, but we're very close to
implementing a redesign that will make submitting a link very easy,
and the option will be prominently displayed. Anybody can also rate
and comment on each resource, and resources that are rated highly will
be featured, while those that people don't find useful will be
replaced. People can also discuss the resources in the forums, and
WEGO's research team regularly interacts with the community there.
I personally think it's a very exciting concept, and I'm eager to hear
more feedback. Incidentally, I also thought the milk allergy page was
one of the weaker pages on the site, and I already mentioned that to
the research team. I'm eager to see how that page in particular, and
the topic pages in general, change as more people begin to suggest new
links and rate the existing ones. By the way, have you gotten a
chance to look at any of the other food allergy pages? If so, what
did you think?
Thanks again for the feedback!
Dan
