Now that the site has grown to over 20,000 pages that receive nearly 100,000 hits per day, management issues have reached critical mass. There are also potential legal liabilities related to the use of copyrighted material on our Web site. The Web Review Team is to recommend Web policies to the President's Office. Many people and departments launched their pages on their own, and will be resistant to an enforced consistency. Often the technical skills are evident in web sites, but not the writing, editing, and design skills.
Delegation leads to no follow-through.
You can't make people care, but you can make them careful. Currently, department heads or unit chairs are responsible for SFSU pages, including design and information. The Websterina, Julianne Tolson, reviews each site before it is linked to SFSU pages. Computing Services currently removes e-mail after it has been left unanswered for six months. The more interesting your site, the more e-mail you receive.
