i've created a webpage for the PTA of my daughter's elementary school.
(http://www.whespta.org) i've also committed to maintaining it as well
as hosting on my personal webserver. needless to say, i've put myself
in position that could easily be abused by people who don't know jack
about web design, mastering, hosting, etc.
i'm wondering if anyone has created a "memorandum of understanding"
type of document that i could plagerize.
i've started one that
clearly outlines my and their responsibilities and expectations. so
far i have:
- i don't type or edit: webpage changes must be supplied
electronically and will be installed verbatim. i don't spell check or
grammar check. the webmaster expects that all urls or email addresses
in the content has been verified by the sender.
- i have the right to implement the design of the webpages that if
visually appealing, conforms to known human factors and usability
principles, and accepted "best-practices" for webdesign.
- the site will only be revised on the weekend. all requests for
changes and additions will be applied at that time. the only
exception will be for announcements and events that require immediate
or asap consideration.
- the site is hosted on the webmaster's personal server. the
webmaster will make a best effort to keep the website secure, offer
the highest uptime possible, and maintain a backup of the site in the
event of intrusion or hardware failure. the server will be taken down
periodially and without notice for maintainance. downtime will be
kept to a minimum.
that's all i have so far. once i finish my side of the memo, i'll have
them add their point of view. i just want to prevent conflict that
can arise from unjustified expectations on *both* sides.
thanks alot.
