webmastering, was RE: Agenda for Wednesday face to face

[Karl Best <karl.best@oasis-open.org>]

At whatever point you start discussing web pages I'd like to be involved, as
there is an issue of resources. Presently, Shahrzad (a Sun intern) is still
maintaining the site on a day-to-day basis. We should have the data from the
crashed disk early this week, so with any luck she will be able to finish
reconstructing the site to its pre-crash glory in a week or so.

OASIS has just hired a new entry-webmaster, who will, together with our
senior-level webmaster, be maintaining all of the OASIS sites including
ebXML. Once Shahrzad has completed the reconstruction of the crashed site we
will transition day-to-day maintenance of the ebXML site from Sun to OASIS.
We will have sufficient webmastering resources for day-to-day maintenence
etc. of ebXML, and possibly some level of enhancement work, but if someone
is going to start suggesting major overhauls I will be pushing back.

What the site really needs, I think, is more current, up-to-date info; maybe
this is what Ed was talking about. At (and since) the San Jose mtg the team
leads have been asked to update the info on their pages. Some of them have
been doing this, some have not. We (OASIS webmasters) have created new
directory structures and logins for each of the teams, so the team leads now
have the ability to update their own files.

We are also starting the membership database project, where a user can click
a link to generate a current list of participants; we hope to have something
to show by Tokyo.
