[Great Hall of Rockwall] FW: Northshield Digest, Vol 58, Issue 38

[Kelli Quinn]

A forward from the kingdom site. Looks like they are going to officially make the webminister position separate from the chronicler's office. Right now, the webminister is technically a sort of adjunct to the chronicler. I think it's like the website is under the chronicler's perview, but he/she farms that responsibility out to the webminister. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) We've pretty much ran it as 2 separate offices in our shire as long as I've been here.

The proposed changes look like Corpora is adopting a framework similar to ours.
