Archiving of Web Sites
Need to establish guidelines on archiving of old IMS websites and mtt.org materialsAm backing up “snapshots” of server contents off-line periodically to CD/DVDQuestions: How long post conference should web site be
alive? How long is domain registration maintained? When (and by whom) is web site archived? When are server archives moved to off-line
(CD/DVD)?
Plans Next Period
Finish configuration of all current mtt.org, rfic, rawcon, mttwireless sitesRe-establish local access by each content owner and conference webmasterRe-create community forums on new server & migrate forums from Yahoo Trade between vBulletin vs PHPBB
Develop a fresh homepage for mtt.orgInvestigate the implementation of CMS or blogging capability for content creation & maintenance
