AY sent me an html outline of the proprosed structure of the new site. So far so good. Some of the content areas in the old site do not appear in the new site, so I asked for clarification.
Other issues:
- they wish to continue to have a dynamic list of courses offered by professor and professor-specific course descriptions
- they wish to allow the dept secretary to continue to make routine text edits, through contribute rather then page-based fckeditor if that's more compatible with the templates
To accommodate that, we'll need to php-ize the pages. Since we're doing that we may as well also php-ize the navigation structure in place of the current hard-coded stuff on every single page.
