What is a webmaster?

Since NWSSA is a small site run by a volunteer or two or three, everybody on the team is a webmaster. Wikipedia describes a webmaster in the following way:

"On a smaller site, the webmaster will typically be the owner, developer and/or programmer, in addition to the author of the content." ... the web master has the "duties of an information architect, including ensuring site usability, user experience and menu taxonomy."

"On larger sites, the webmaster will act as a coordinator and overseer to the activities of other people working on the site and is usually an employee of the owner of the Web site." The "model tends to be more team oriented with a website manager or online producer leading a team consisting of web developers, designers, programmers, QA lead, [media] developers and often at least one usability expert or a UI/UE team."
