Part of that is practical: until the website launches, we need to make updates to both the old and new site whenever there&#8217;s a content changes.<\/p>\n<p>But even after launch, we&#8217;re not going to be immediately adding a bunch of accounts. Last time, we had a massive training program where literally hundreds of people learned to use the website to make edits. In retrospect, this was a bad idea:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Many people took the training without ever making any changes to the website (only about 1 in 3 accounts on the website is even active anymore, and we&#8217;ve deleted dozens of accounts who never made edits)<\/li>\n<li>Most people don&#8217;t make many edits to the site. Excluding Lori and me, over the last 9 years, the average user has only made about 100 edits &#8211; about one per month since launch. There are only 11 people, including 2 retirees, who have made more than 600 page edits since we started. By contrast, Lori has made more than 16,000.* Of course, there are some outliers who have made over a thousand edits &#8211; more on them in a minute.<\/li>\n<li>Providing web editing access to hundreds of people ensured that our website would never have a consistent voice. Even today, there are sections written in very academic sounding third person, sometimes right next to a more casual 2nd person. If we&#8217;re going to provide a good experience to prospective students, this needs to stop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Right now our focus is on launching the website. Once we&#8217;ve launched, and have a better handle on how we&#8217;ll handle user permissions, we&#8217;ll start exploring ways to help get our really frequent website users more involved. But whatever that process, it will be very slow, and very deliberate.<\/p>\n<p>* These numbers are actually more complicated than this, since we&#8217;ve deleted thousands of pages, and I can&#8217;t capture those edits in these statistics. Since those pages were often the least edited pages, Lori&#8217;s total edits should be several thousand higher.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve had a lot of questions on the content freeze recently, and I&#8217;d like to clear one of those up: there&#8217;s no end date on the freeze.
