• Demos are added to the site by Jennie and Phil. Many teaching staff and faculty (including 8 large undergrad. courses and a special alumni event) can query the system, by topic, to get access to appropriate demos for teaching.

Info from Barry:

• Hosted by Barry Robinson, using CIT's VM infrastructure (which he uses to host many Physics web sites).
• Note this is a distinctly separate web site than the Physics Admin web site <http://www.physics.cornell.edu/> Barry also hosts in the same CIT VM (virtual machine) rented space.
• Access is restricted by .htaccess, thus username and password required. (Who are these credentials shared with? Who changes and/or when do they change?)
• Static pages. Jennie and Phil depend on this site, and maintain the items within it.

• Look at options and decide how to sustain. One efficient way to do this is to have the stakeholders consult with CIT's ATC, perhaps in coordinating with Tricia (A&S Communications). .
  • The ATC site states, "Academic Technologies offers services such as non-intensive website support and hosting." And it's free.
    • http://www.it.cornell.edu/services/atc/
  • As part of looking at options, characterize the purpose the present site serves.
  • Whatever is decided, clarify any obligations for those hosting and maintaining thesitethe site. Ensure fair remuneration to sustain the site as-is and/ or migrate it as appropriate.
  • The recommended coordination with Tricia et al. is (A&S Communications) so they are at least aware of the need, and especially as it might relate to the current departmental Physics site and it's proposed future.
