History

The web editorial staff is a relatively new Stack committee. Before its foundation, Stack had a WWW committee that was responsible for both the content as well as the technical background of the webservice (the server itself and installation of various unix tools). The technical part is handled by the Unix Committee nowadays. The first WWW committee was installed in December 1995 and existed in shifting compositions for about 8 years. In 2003 the webredactie (editorial staff) was founded. [exact installation date not found in SIS archives].

SIS is the Stack Information System - this is a local repository with official Stack documentation. It contains not only that statutory regulations, but also all the board decisions over the years and minutes of all general meetings of Stack. SIS was started in 1995 [1994?] by Arnoud Engelfriet and was later also maintained by Boris Ammerlaan and Johan van Selst. The SIS editorial staff existed as a seperate working group until 2006. On 9 November 2006 the SIS staff and webstaff were merged into a single group. The name SIS for a working group was abandoned, but the system itself remains and is now maintained by the web editorial staff.
