Hi Rocklyn,
The BCMT already has a page at http://web.mit.edu/bcmt/, though it is not
yet complete. I'm wondering whether it might not make sense to have the IS
Home Page highlight the Y2K page, the BCMT page, 3-Down, and any other
relevant pages through a special Y2K Weekend link.
Coming at it from another angle, I assume you've already booked the
spotlight for the MIT Home Page for the Y2K weekend. Maybe we could mimic
that spotlight on the IS site.
At a minimum, this will take some coordination among assorted players. I
would be happy to discuss this further -- perhaps at an IS Home meeting. We
usually meet on Fridays at 9:30am in N42-286.
Let me know how you would like to proceed.
Regards,
Robyn
