Seriously. Rocket Science? Piece of cake. Compared to that, editing the wicked world of HTML takes near-genius levels of ability. Consider the line: "In this section, you'll find links to Civilization III-related sites, polls, and "Ask the Civ Team", where you can send in your questions and we'll answer a few of them each month."
Now imagine. There's not a poll to be seen. Also, you've missed February and already are behind on June. What to do? You could post something about that on the site or even just alter the text by saying "But hey...no promises!" But as I said, the man-power required is daunting. I'd say (just being conservative), editing HTML takes at minimum two Ph.D.s: One in Resume Padding and the other in Work Evasion. In most cases, it's most cost effective to face the difficulty simply by doing nothing. Stick with what got you the job, I say.
Afterall, it's a website. Who will see it anyway?

I think it's more like this:
Dan: Sid, I've my concept update ready, it contains like you asked me the complete AI guide and an explanation about the minor civs. Besides that I dropped some notes about combat and a complete list of all units including their possibilities. Oh, and I've made a cool simulation about the MP style our server will have ! Do you think we should include the 200 MB beta as well, or just the light '100 MB' version ?
Sid: Hell, wait a minute, that yin26 dude is almost exploding, if we give him some AI info he might cool down again and that'll be a big pitty since I would like it that much to have him collapse about our infallable AI !
Dan: But I've done my stinky best on it ! You know Sid, I've worked on for 4 complete days to include animated city view in which you can see the workers build up whatever you're constructing, it's sooo coool !
Sid: Yeah, that might be true, but I just hate those bunch of Apolyton dudes that are always sending in new ideas etc. You know, since Civ has been released back in '91 I've never had an easy moment. Always I had to read through hundreds of emails and so. And that yin dude later came with that sick list of him. I haven't talked to my wife for 4 long weeks because I had to read through those pathatic ideas !
Dan: But why shouldn't I post an update on the number of civs that'll be in one game ? I've read on the msgboards that they're crying for an answer to that !
Sid: Good for them ! Let them sleep in worries ! BUWHAHAHA I'll punnish them for their eternal mourning.
Dan: *crying* but the interactive section in what fans can ask whatever question and our improved AI will generate a perfect answer, to show how good the AI is, and to provide them with info, let me post that one at least on the website !
Sid: NOOOOOO the defending of our cities is...... uh I mean too much info is no good. It's so funny to read through those threads and to see what kinda pathatic ideas they have about our current developping ! They even think the game is gonna be TBS ! They're soo foolish ! That remembers me we should put an 'Apolyton - NO' sign on the box when we release it !
Dan: *whiping tears from his face* but what should I do then ?
Sid: come over here and play another game of Sim Golf with me. That game is SO good !
