History of the Caltech
Caltech was one of the first schools to have a web site, but without having undergone much change as late as 1997, the site needed a complete revamp. This revamp included establishing a visual theme for the Caltech web based on institute architecture, a heirarchically organized set of links on subpages, unified searching of the various Caltech databases, featured stories with images, and daily headline feeds. Curious observers also found Caltech inside-jokes hidden as Easter eggs on the site. Credits for this revamp belong to Aurelius Prochazka (project management, programming, layout, photography), Glenn C. Smith (databases, scripting, and maintenance interfaces), Danny Petrovich (graphic design), and Athina Peiu Quake (HTML, layout and architectural theme).
