− | The [[Web Team]] looks after the [http://freeculture.org/ Web site], [http://wiki.freeculture.org/ wiki], [http://planet.freeculture.org/ planet], and [http://freeculture.org/blog/ blog]. It can normally be found lurking in our [[IRC]] channel.

− | ==General responsibilities==
| |
− | ===Keep the website functioning===
| |

| |
− | * Accept bug reports. We must have a way for people to tell the webteam what is broken
| |

| |
− | ===Add functionality===

| |
