For quite a while I've wanted to organize a face to face meeting of campus Webmasters. We could compare notes on all aspects of running a Web presence, including the sorts of questions in the survey below. I think it'd be very useful to share thoughts about technology used, maintenance and management procedures, HTML and accessibility validation, etc. Would folks be interested in such a face to face gathering? Please send me a private note if you wish.
