I think we *should* update http://web.mit.edu/is/help/cert/index.html to
include valuable information for users, namely the table of contents.
Notice that I say update rather than "switch" the pages.  It's a
philosophical difference.

Many people will be returning to campus in the next couple of weeks and
need to get new certificates, as well as troubleshoot possible problems.
The way I see it, this page is a pointer into what people need to know
about certificates at MIT.  The body of knowledge has grown over the past
year, and I think the best we can do for people is to give them quick
access to the variety of pages on the topic.

Jag and I discussed this issue with Robyn and Lee last week, and also asked
some stakeholders what their preference would be.  We got support for
updating the page from Joanne Stevenson (WebSIS), Bob Murray (SAP), and
Susan M-Azary and Jonathan Ives (Integration).

Of course we don't want any links to break.  It turns out that using our
handy-dandy test engine Ultraseek, there are NO web pages pointing to an
anchor reference within index.html.  This means no link would break.

There are 56 pages on web.mit.edu that link to is/help/cert, and most of
them are IS pages.  Additionally, 10 other pages on mit.edu domain link to
the document.  (URLs below).

It would be labor intensive to write to the 66 page maintainers, because
we'd have to go into each page and search for the contact.

I was planning to check with Jeff Schiller next, then write to infosys that
the page had been updated. (writing to infosys was suggested by Jonathan
Ives).

What do you think?

Also, from public site, these people link to cert, where URL must contain
is/help/cert and be as mit.edu site.
