Talk:Departments

I'm confused at how "information" fits under Operations. But what does information mean? I think of newsletter, and freebie table, and publications as being information functions, which clearly don't fit under operations. On the other hand the convention office (bridge), which is a primary operations function, is often an information source as well. Anyway, I think it probably needs to be clarified somehow, and I don't know what's meant so I can't just do it.

Information: information desk

I have clarified in the article that information means information desk. When I ran the information desk for Minicon, I did so under Operations. I'm not sure how this is organized for worldcons. Even when there is no separate information desk, Operations is often the go-to place for questions, so people in Ops need to be prepared to answer them. Having documentation in Ops to support this function is a bonus.
