By Dan MacKay I wrote this up after hearing about it many times and occasionally participating in one of the three roles. I'm sure it happens five thousand times a day all over the planet. ---- Tiny NGO: "Hi would you build us a webpage?" Web Developer 1: "Sure give me some text, and some photos, and $15,000" TNGO: "Wow that's a lot of money but we need a webpage, here you go" (a month passes) TNGO: Whoohoo we have a website! we're having a website launch party!! (everyone celebrates) (a year passes) TNGO: Hi WD1, we have a new board of directors and the program for the next year and our funding strategy has changed, would you update the website please? WD1: [crickets] TNGO: Uh hello , we really need this [more crickets] [finally they get WD1's home number and call them at supper time] WD1: Uh yeah I got hired full time to do sysadmin, I don't do web pages any more. Bye. [TNGO asks around and finds Web Developer 2] TNGO: Hi WD2, Could you update the website please? WD2: Your website? Sure! Oh. That was created in WebSnark 2.0, no one uses that any more, it's impossible to update. Everyone's using FriskyCM now. I can create you a whole new website in FriskyCM 3.2 for only $15,000. (repeat every 18 months.)
