Find the bugs

Let them learn
While most of the website sections have content leaders, we still require someone to oversee the organization and content of the Education (or Learn) section that includes links to programs and IA research.
Prevent dead links
Help us avoid dead links when people access the old site via bookmarks or external links. We need someone to write a 404 script that will compare the entered URL to a database and return the updated page or a friendly and appropriate Page Not Found message.
