All Quiet
Not much news here, because things are ticking along without much change. Mathilde Hastings has the new College website up, and it’s looking good. My lovely Deputy Hierophant (Content) hasn’t produced any content yet, but I’m putting together a list of stuff that might be good, including a dump of what used to be on the old Polit site, so she can wade through it and produce some shiny new stuff.
I should start looking for someone to take this job over, because I need to divest myself of some responsibilities. It’s not a big job for anyone who can find their way around an XML editor (even a text editor, in a pinch) because it’s all pretty automated and simple: you want to add events to the schedule, stick them in the schedules directory; add a news item in the news directory; edit content using the content.xml file, edit the navigation links using the nav.xml file; and so on. One quick script to upload the lot to the server, and anyone could do it - although it’s easier if you know enough to set up Apache and a few other geek tools on your own computer so you can test stuff before it gets published. So if anyone wants to take over as Hierophant any time, let me know. It’s not urgent, since it really is pretty easy, so I can keep doing it for a while, but I should share the fun…
That’s about it, really. No news is good news. Contact me if there’s any content you’d like to see on the site, or if you have suggestions. My email address is bat@flurf.net.
