>This is an informational update/proposed path forward re: maintaining IS
>team info on the web.
>
>Kathy Allen and I met with Robyn Fizz and Janet Littell to talk about
>maintenance of the 'Standing Teams' info on the web. Although the page has
>a last update date of June 29, there are still inaccuracies. There is also
>a lack of clear owner for this kind of data.
>
>CG agreed we should own the responsibility to make sure this information is
>maintained, since it crosses Processes and Practices, and links with other
>CG responsibilities.
>
>Proposed path forward:
>-Janet will change the page title to 'IS Teams' (since the list will have
>Standing Teams as well as Project Teams)
>
>-Janet will make some formatting changes to the existing page, so that all
>IS Processes and Practices are represented with 'category' headings.
>
>-Janet will update the access to the page so that CGTeam can make updates
>
>-CG Team will send an email to ILEAD requesting TL's to review what is on
>the page, as well as provide new input. A review of the Project Database
>will also be done.
>
>-CG Team will input the updates. A significant refresh of the data should
>be available by end of August.
>
>(Individual teams will still be responsible for maintaining all their own
>detail info. CG will maintain the 'index' - team name, leader, email, and
>homepage links. Before inputing this information for teams in the project
>database, an assessment will be done of value vs effort)
>
>Kevin Cunningham has a Filemaker with similar team information. However, it
>has not been updated since last summer, and the expertise to update
>Filemaker DB is less ubiquitous than web updating. As we move forward, we
>may need to use the Filemaker DB, but the initial thrust will be to update
>the web site.
>
>If anyone has a concern with this approach, or feels we are inappropriately
>duplicating other activities, please let me know!
