Katie,

Did anyone inquire of me about the available space? I don't recall such a discussion. I suspect that you made a false presumption. Our usual approach to disk space for Web sites on either Front Door server is "How much do you really need?" That said, what you have in mind might possibly turn out to be a problem, but we can't know that yet.

It is my view that any Ohio University online activity ought to be visibly an Ohio University activity, and that one part of that is being on an Ohio University server. At this time there is NO such requirement, even for official, departmental, sites, and there may well never be any such requirement. Likewise, in my view, a second part is having the reciprocal link from your home page to the University's home page (). Again, there is NO such requirement currently in place, except that we won't link to your page from the Student Organizations database without that.

I expect to be back from medical leave before the end of this week. I think it would be a good idea for you, me, your pagemaster, and your advisor to get together to discuss the actual possibilities, rather than have you proceeding on the basis of presumptions that may or may not be true.

Mr. Piccard,

The reason we chose to use a non-OU server is because we are going to publish an online news site (which is separate from our student organization's site). Along with the written stories on our site we are going to have a lot of multimedia content that will most likely take up more space than we are allotted for our organization.

We don't particularly want our publication to be linked from the Student Organizations database. Do we still need to follow the rules on the link below?

Danita Brown had asked us to let you know what we are up to, so I hope we are not causing you any trouble. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks again,
