Pfeiffer and new media had concerns about that.  There's internet technology that allows people to view edits to pages (it's what the McCain camp used to monitor our campaign website so they could jump on any change we made to it).  The concern was that if we scrubbed the site of Bush references, that would be obvious and become a story.  So, for now, we just disabled the issue pages, and we'll rework them substantially next week so the changes will go beyond just removing the Bush references.  For now, it will just look like the pages don't work, which we thought was better than the alternative.  The other thing that has handicapped us on the site is that the new media people don't start until Monday, so the site will be much more fleshed out next week.  The good news though is that we've been able to process all of the job applications without a hitch, which is where most of the traffic seems to be going.

That seems extreme. Can't we edit issue block by block?

I pulled the policy stuff down after we spoke. List of board members, as well as bios of chairs, is all online.

Did we take all the policy stuff down?
We need to at least get the board press release on the site. Or a list of board members. Thought we were a lot further along on this.
