I work for Stack Exchange.

I am a professional developer, formerly in the "Defense & Aerospace" industry. I was daily entrenched in embedded real-time systems, signal processing, C, Git, C++, C#. My side projects involve Lisp, C#, concurrency and distributed systems, algorithms, math. Sometimes, when my wife is mad at me and my kids won't hug me, I do webby stuff. But I don't tell anyone. I later worked for a small .NET/Sharepoint consulting agency in Dallas, followed by a time with a startup in Dallas.

Mar 19	comment	Provision listview webpart on page layout using feature The issue may be there - the announcement list is located in each subweb of /myserver/sites/mysite. The idea is to have the welcome page for each of those sites provisioned with all the default webparts on it. Perhaps it would be better to just do this in a `WebProvisioned` event.

Mar 15	comment	Add WebPart to page and lock it down (except for editing) Yeah, ok. That may wind up being the answer. A RichHtmlField is certainly simpler than trying to deploy and restrict a webpart.
Mar 14	comment	Add WebPart to page and lock it down (except for editing) @PaulLucas to which controls are you referring?

Mar 7	comment	Is there a way to set permissions so that a content editor part can be edited but not removed from the page? Well, I don't think a Wiki page is the right answer for this particular scenario, but I was thinking of putting a rich text area in a page layout. Users would have to have edit permissions to change it, but they wouldn't be able to remove it from the page.
