Here at Essex we're looking at the options for establishing a web-editing team, and I wonder what models are in use elsewhere?
Do you have a single web team covering technical as well as editorial remits, or do you have separate teams?
If you have separate teams, who does what?
If you have a central web-editing team, how much do they cover? Just top-level corporate pages, or absolutely everything your university does on the web? And if it's, as I suspect, somewhere in between these two extremes, where do you draw the boundaries?
Does your editing team look after departmental/faculty/school sites as well as central pages?
Within a central web editing team, what are the roles, and how large a team is it? How large should it be? (Obviously these answers will vary hugely, depending on the nature of the institution, but it's very helpful for us to learn from others' experiences.)
If you have devolved authoring, what's the relationship between the central team and the devolved authors? What kind of support does the central team provide?
Sorry for the splurge of questions, but any comments, suggestions and/or experiences would be much appreciated!
And I'm happy to collate responses into a summary and report back to this list.
