Web Home Pages

[Sheryl Sieracki <ssierack -at- ARINC -dot- COM>]

          Fellow techwhirlers:

          My company is (finally) looking into putting a home page up
          on the Web, and we're putting together a policy that will
          address creating and maintaining the home page.

          We anticipate that organizations throughout the company
          (worldwide) would create their own pages, which would be
          linked to the corporate home page, and that some centralized
          body would review these pages for content, appropriateness,
          etc.  The pages also would be edited by my department.

          The policy would address such issues as the procedure each
          organization would follow to creating its page; how the
          review board would be set up and function; and how we
          would ensure that all of the information we provide
          access to remains current.  Management's largest concerns
          are the long-term costs in terms of care and feeding of
          this thing, ensuring that we do it right to protect our
          corporate image, and preventing employees from sitting at
          their PCs visiting the Dilbert site all day or
          downloading pornographic pictures (I'm exaggerating on
          this last, but you know what I mean).

          There's lots of information out there about creating home
          pages, but I haven't seen much about developing corporate
          policies.  I'd appreciate any help you could offer--aspects
          of this project we might not think to consider, URLs for
          sites where we might find some useful information, anecdotal
          experience. . . .  Maybe some of your companies have a
          (nonproprietary) policy we could use as a guide.

          Please respond to me at ssierack -at- arinc -dot- com -dot- 

          Thanks,
