This is an update to the story posted here.
As I suspected, my old boss was looking for someone to come in and breath life into the company Intranet. When I worked for this company, I was the only person that knew how the site worked and how to update data. The company Intranet was the one thing that kept me from being completely bored. Of course, there were things that I hated about being the sole person in charge of the Intranet. Everyone wanted fresh, new content on the site but no one was willing to give me any ideas as to what they wanted to see on the various pages. Basically, I was asked to try and figure out what each department would want to have and see on their respective pages. It was not fun and made the whole Intranet a tedious beast to deal with on a daily/weekly basis.
Anyway, my old boss wants me to do some work on the site again (after 1.5 years) and I told him that the only way I would do that was if I had a clear understanding of what each department wanted to get from their pages and basically had a road map for the whole project. He seemed agreeable to it but who knows. I’m not sure how long it’ll take them to come up with all this information but I’m not holding my breath. If something materializes in the next few weeks, I’ll be sure to let you all know. :)
