Is it one huge inDesign doc? Do you break it up into pages, distribute
them, and then collect them when they're finished? How do you manage
permissions?
We've been pretty happy with Josten's move to their web-based yearbook
system. The only bottleneck is that we funnel the photos through one
person for uploading so that only a few people are "advisors" (full
editing permission) and the rest are "staff" (limited permissions).
I'd be interested in exploring an on-campus publishing solution, but not
at the cost of making it harder for the 30+ teachers who contribute.
(Each teacher formats a spread of his or her own class or advisory.) Any
suggestions would be appreciated!
