Assistant Webmaster for the Store
The Augustan Society, Inc., maintains a number of websites. In order to "divide and conquer" the task of maintaining them, each is assigned it's own Assistant Webmaster. The Store website is hosted at RimuHosting and is assigned to the Assistant Webmaster for the Store.
The Assistant Webmaster for the Store is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the Webmaster. He is granted full access to the site, which unavoidably includes access to the Library Catalog and the Staff Wiki. While he has the ability to grant access to others, this should be done only by authority of the Webmaster. The website address is <store.augustansociety.org>.
The Assistant Webmaster is responsible for posting all changes in the content of the site based on input from authorized individuals. Headquarters staff will be the primary source of data, but comments and corrections from whatever source should be given reasonable consideration.
The Assistant Webmaster should work primarily with the Sales Manager, the Assistant Treasurer, and Headquarters Staff to obtain the Contents of each item, along with such links as may be appropriate. He should accept input from Headquarters about the raw cost of production and the nominal profit margin, data from the Sales Manager (and Membership Privileges list) on margins and discounts, and see that pricing is changed as these inputs change.
The Assistant Webmaster should consider if putting images of the covers would be constructive, and work with Headquarters Staff to have the scanned and uploaded.
The Assistant Webmaster should provide images and data to the Assistant Webmaster for ENS for the items to be featured on that site. While to date only one book and post-#116 Augustan Omnibus have been listed, this is not a constraint. Indeed, it may be wise to include all items with an interesting cover.
The Assistant Webmaster should make maximum use of internal links between pages, both on the Store site and the other Society sites. Links to other sites, including Society sites other than the Store, should open in a new tab. Outside links should be used with care, and must be verified as active and appropriate not less than annually.
In particular, links should be created between:
- Reprints and the issue or issues of the original publication;
- Components of the Augustan Society Omnibus (Books 1 through 14) and those Books;
- Publications of other organizations or Society Subgroups and the relevant page on the ENS site.
The Assistant Webmaster should establish a calendar that will cause him to visit and review every item on the site not less than once per year. This review should include checking for full and correct titles, grammatical errors, link rot, conformity to evolving policies and procedures (for which this Wiki serves as a reference), and opportunities for enhancements.
The Assistant Webmaster may change the architecture of the site after consultation with the Webmaster. He may also recommend the creation of a replacement site, should he feel that appropriate.
