Well, the current site uses PHP and CSS. We might get rid of the PHP if we get enough people who don't know it well.

We also have three sites, one is for music, one is for the convention and one is the memories site, so the work can be split in different ways depending upon interests.

The hardest part of the job is just staying on top of it. Most people like designing a site, but not maintaining it. It becomes difficult when certain tricks are used that some of the people maintaining the site don't understand. In the month before the convention, there are a lot of updates. Fortunately, the con is now at the end of summer instead of right in the middle of finals in May. Ideally, we'd like a team of about 4-5 to split up all the work to keep too much pressure off everyone.

Hope this helps!

That's funny, it's the opposite for me. I love doing updates and stuff and keeping a site busy, but it takes me forever to get something off the ground.

I am interested. I know CSS pretty well. I've got some bare-bones exposure to PHP, so I know the general gist of it... *hoping to take a course in PHP this coming fall to learn more* I also know some JavaScript and Perl, if that's applicable.

You're welcome to drop me an e-mail or catch me over AIM if you want to discuss it more. I'm online a lot, and I check my e-mail very frequently.

ok, I'll try to catch you on AIM to discuss more of the details (I'm the account holder and primary admin of our websites).

edit: my AIM is toddpw01

Thanks for the offer. However, I think we're set for now -- between Evil Bishounen and the other web staffers who are coming out of summer school now, it looks like the basic update process is covered.

We could still use design ideas for next year's template, if there are aspiring graphic designers out there.
