[GPSCC-chat] our web site - which web site?

[Cameron L. Spitzer]

The static site is a remnant of the decentralized global web of Green 
Party web sites begun by activists like me in the mid '90s..
That collection became impossible to maintain as the priesthood of "new 
media professionals" took over and discouraged the lower-skilled volunteers.

The new site is a remnant of new media professional Marnie Glickman's 
project to centralize Green Party web sites under her control.  She was 
unable to salvage the existing content in any organized or mechanical 
way, so most of the content the volunteers had created was discarded.
