Re: [atlarge-discuss] Re: [wg-web] managing our site

["Jaz-Michael King" <JMKing@ipro.org>]

I'm not on the web WG so please forward this to them if it doesn't make it. Also would members of the web wg please notice that I do not receive mail sent to the web wg list, please cc me if you are replying to me.

Now then, who wants a content management system? I can install a CMS that will allow various people access to various parts of the site, wg web can then approve/edit/reject changes (based on rules set out in the web notpublishing manual).

Can I stress how important it is that whoever is "webmaster" should have little or no editorial input into the site.

If you want to know my credentials visit my awful homepage http://www.mynameismonkey.com 

I'm willing to help out and get stuff moving, but I really don't have the time to wade through the ridiculous amount of non-productive email assaulting me from the lists.

So, serious offer, let me see what your host can support and I'll get you a content posting system that will distibute ownership of content among the org.

  It is clear due to the lag time in getting the basic requests taken care
of the Bret does not have adequate time to function well as the
Web Master.

  If you review that archives Vittorio you would already know whom those
people are.  Obviously you don't take notes on posts here very well if
at all.  That is a shame and shows a lack of real interests in this organization
as well as consideration to the members.  Please make an concerted effort
to change your ways in this regard.
So this time I will list out those whom some time ago volunteered and have the
necessary background:
Sotiris
Walter
Jaz -  *Recently*

  Yo are being too kind here.  It has been made terribly obvious that
Bret does not have adequate time or interest to even continue as
Web master.  In any event he has acted in a rogue manner as
others have rightly pointed out.
