I absolutely agree that allowing people to publish on the internet is
a must. I feel that one of the ways to designate degrees of
"official" status is by DNS name. By default, the IP names of our
students are something on the order of "rmxxx.hall-name.res.nwu.edu"
If a student truly wanted to publish something, he or she would
probably want a smoother name; I think (it hasn't come up yet) that we
will simply give the student an alternate name if and only if that
student has the approval of some larger group who we will hold
responsible (probably an academic department).
Thus, if a student wanted to publish in conjunction with a class, they
could get an alias IP name under the aegis of their department; if
they were just doing it themselves, they could either get the
Associated Student Government to take responsibility, or live with an
ugly IP name. If they are living with an ugly IP name, then no
organization has taken responsibility, and only the individual will be
considered responsible for information posted...
I don't feel like I've stated this very well, but I've been in too
many meetings today :-)
