Content Administration Group

Who are the Content People?

Welcome to the Content Administration Home Page. We are a collection of 2 to 3 students and one faculty member who maintain the web layout, structure, and look of the Computer Science department at Earlham College. Our faces vary from year to year as new students join the group and old students move on. We fish for new members at the end of fall semester. The 2006-2007 members are Will Tomlinson, Samuel Leeman-Munk, Chase La France with Jim Rogers as faculty advisor.

Will Tomlinson (spring, 2006 - present), is currently studying software engineering, functional programming, and parallel computing. Enjoys learning new things, computer games, and the Houston Rockets.

Samuel Leeman-Munk (spring, 2008 - present), is currently studying Computer Science and Japanese language. He will be studying abroad in Japan next semester.

Chase La France (spring, 2008 - present), is a freshman currently interested in computer science and Japanese.

Jim Rogers (forever) is the faculty advisor for the Content Group. He can be described with words that start with P - precise, pedagogically inclined, philosophical, prone to pontification and puns. He insists on adherence to standards and things that work in every possible circumstance. He digresses. His contradancing status is unknown.

What do we do?

Content Admin's primary responsiblities are the development and maintenance of the department's public presence online. We strive for comprehensive and coherent structures on the department web. One of our most significant goals is to develop dynamically updated content which minimizes the amount of hand maintenance required.

We meet once weekly and discuss problems, solutions, and perks while making obscure CS jokes. We work over the course of the week to implement changes and improve our skills through study and learning from more experienced builders. Coming in, many of our group did not know the languages they soon mastered - Content is about learning by doing. In this case, the thing learned is how to build a good webpage.

Content builds good webpages.
