I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
wow - that is gonna suck for someone, or several someones.
For those keeping score, I know have approval on both sets of minutes and can distribute them as well as enter tasks assigned in them into the job tracking thingy.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
our web site is seriously screwed - the current version went live about a year ago. BUT! it's basically the old web site with a different look and organization. The fun part - everyone's responsible (supposedly) for doing their own updates. I'm supposed to be managing and editing this ... but there's no mechanism for me to see what's new (that is, without checking every single page every single day ... and trust me, there isn't that much time in the world). So ... we have people slapping all kinds of junk up every which way. Periodically they come to me asking for help, or with instructions for me to do something for them. The real fun is that we have a bunch of external web sites ... which I can't touch; I'm not even authorized to contact the external company to make changes.
Mess sums it up, right?

We have sort of the opposite problem here, Toddson. No one can make their own updates, but we have to keep track of all of our information. So if the registrar's office has asked the manager to put up one of my courses, and I make a change to that course, the manager doesn't change the registrar's information, just what we tell her to. Except people put up my stuff all over the website, and I am still finding incorrect information from 3 years ago, usually by a student telling me where they saw it! It is very frustrating.

Maybe you can hire shrift to clean it up. :-)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Sox beat me to it: can you (or your friendly neighborhood IT people) get a daily list of what's been changed? That'll at least allow you to review the changes without a lot of fruitless poking at every single page.
As for the external sites, just, ugh. If you're not able to make anything happen (even indirectly), it shouldn't be your so-called responsibility!
