About the Webmasters

# The MIT Webmasters

Well, we know you all are desperately interested in the ever-intriguing lives of those exciting few, the MIT Webmasters, so here's a page of info about us just to allow you to feel all that much closer to us and permit us to feel all that much more important. (no, we don't really look like that picture)

There are six webmasters, and we are all students or graduates of MIT. Though we're busy with classes and especially the end of term, we've been keeping up with mail to webmaster@mit.edu as best we can, so feel free to keep sending it.

We're all members of a volunteer group at MIT, the Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) (except for one of us, who is a prospective). Each of the webmasters deals with a slightly different part of the web maintenance, allowing us to spread the work out. Please feel free to send us feedback and commentary.

## Web Administrators

Matthew (mkgray@mit.edu)
  Matthew deals with a lot of the server extensions and writes lots of perl code. A number of amusing and useful and potentially silly hacks are in the works. Matthew also preaches the gospel of the web far and wide with Chad, convincing various MIT groups to put stuff up on the web, people to write their own home pages and start their own web servers. He has been more successful than he ever imagined.
Jessie (sorokin@mit.edu)
  Jessie rewrites the home page every couple of weeks when we decide that it is wrong. At the moment she's working on collecting information and archives focussing on women, especially in computer science and technical fields. Lately she's been finding herself on Matthew's soapbox too, and she's managed to fool her boss into paying her to write WWW propaganda.
Eric (nocturne@mit.edu)
  Eric has been busy keeping up with mail to webmaster, and writing extensions to our server, like the finger and machine information gateways. He still follows the other webmasters around and corrects their typographical and grammatical errors. If you have an idea for a new service or gateway that we could provide, you might find that Eric is interested in making it happen. At the very least, you should suggest it to him. :-)
Eri (rei@mit.edu)
  Eri draws lots of pretty pictures, including the one at the top of this page. Almost all the artwork in our server is Eri's; keep an eye out for all sorts of other additions. Eri is also starting to do some maintenance. She can't seem to get employed in the meantime. Oh well.
Fred (tritan@mit.edu)
  Fred maintains the MIT Activities homepage list. He also has begun doing maintenance work with other parts of our server.
Mike (mjbauer@lcs.mit.edu)
  As Mike is still under construction, he currently has no specific duties, although he's adding homepages and getting lots of mail about the server. He's new. Be nice to him.
