Here's a list of tasks for the Web Team. If you don't like my naming convention in making this page, well, one of the points below is to establish style guidelines for the wiki. So there.
Please add stuff below.
Web Team members: please move things to your own to-do lists prior to working on a task. In the change summary, say "Task X moved to User:You" (where Task X is the task and User:You is your userpage).

Low-Priority
Version Control
- Install CVS / Subversion.
- J.C.: Install CVS and enforce the use of CVS for all website changes. The intention here is to make sure that we never lose data, and add accountability for website updates. I think the site is just large enough to benefit significantly by this approach. Using a version control system for the web pages adds overhead to designers, but there's no more worry about clobbering a whole host of work on accident through a erroneous install and having to manually restore the site, or simple human error with breaking a script.
- Abhay: Subversion. My version system of choice.
Comment Submission
- Clean up and annotate J.C.'s code on the orphan works comment submission site for future use
- Add / ensure appropriate functioning of blog comment filtering (see hated jobs)
