How much to maintain web site?
-
The White House is saying that they're having a tough time keeping the White House web site up to date, because they only have 6 people and a budget of $1M. Is this complaint justified? Does anyone have any facts (of other web sites) to compare this with? How much money and how big a support staff do you think they should have to get the job done?
Best wishes, Hans

That does seem tiny for the amount of material they make available. I would have expected at least 20-30 people or more would be responsible for the site. Heck, Club Penguin employed 150 people before Disney bought them out awhile back. Cheers, Drew.

Well let's assume a salary of 50K for each of the 6. Multiply the salary by 2.5 for insurance, benefits, etc, and you get $750K for all 6 just in salary overhead. So only 250K left for machinery, software, maintenance, etc. Sounds a bit slim.

You would have to get more hamsters, and then get a hamster supervisor.

If it's a FISMA [^]compliant site then 1M seems low. They could lower the cost of the site by disbanding NIST security division. 5 of the 6 wieners are probably there to make sure they are following NIST FISMA guidlines. They should be fired and allowed to clean offices, or work as gas station clerks or even 7-11 clerks. They are the evil American politruk[^], maybe sent to prison, or Siberia North Dakota to pay for thier crimes.... Breath count to 10.... I'm better now.

</edit> this is no ordinary website </edit> It's less the the redecoration of a CEO's office at Merryl Lynch... I'm sure we're not talking about only technical staff, so yes I can see 6 people is not much...
