The LBA web pages, primarily outdated and lacking significant resources, require a strategic update to enhance usability and accessibility for users. Key priorities include defining the minimum necessary information, desirable additions, and extras while balancing these needs with available resources. Important content like the status of active proposals, standard operational modes, and guides for novice users need to be highlighted. Additionally, user input and volunteer involvement are encouraged to implement changes, improve scheduling, and refine operational guides for a more efficient VLBI experience.
