Comment: CAIDA Webmaster starting 2000

Things I've been working on that I don't want to forget about

Sep 2013	Document the caidawebmaster@gmail.com account to list what it's being used for: doodle, webmaster tools, custom search tool on caida, youtube account, google docs
Sep 2013	Lightbox needs to get hooked into XSLT at the right place so that it sets up the IE conditional directives correctly, so it can be deployed on a sitewide level rather than just in Publications Posters; related files on cider: /www/content/www-xml-443/c2supportfiles/lightbox2.6/ /www/backend/www-xml-443/stylesheets/page2html.xsl (maybe pagecontentwrapper.xsl needs involvement instead)
Oct 2013	Follow up with kc about posting the Program Plan to the website. The files need to be moved from WIP and added as new to the proper place in the WCS tree. related files on cider: /www/backend/www-xml-443/caida-sitemap.xml wcs:www-caida-org/home/about/progplan/ cvs:WIP/web/home/about/progplan/progplan2014/ wcs:www-caida-org/home/about/progplan/2014 (needs to be created)
