Yup.  Remember that, in theory, you are the content PHB. This means
the only work you need to do is to find people to do the work.  Of course,
finding yourself is an acceptable approach, but may not scale. ;)

decides what the site should do.  If software changes are needed, they
turn to the systems group for help with implementation.
