Institutional Web Management Workshop 2005: Discussion Groups<\/a><\/p>\n

OK – first discussion group – about the challenge of a CMS (Content Management System). Never blogged a discussion group before – don’t know how this will go.<\/p>\n

Currently seem to be some problem – we don’t have a chair for the discussion. OK – so we have a volunteer from City University – Tim Matschak. I since I’m blogging this anyway – I might as well be the ‘reporter’.<\/p>\n

So – we need to have 3 ‘challenges’ for further discussion tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Firstly – who uses a CMS? Under half – but basically everyone seems to have the intention of using a CMS in the future, if they aren’t already. So – we start with a brainstorm:<\/p>\n

Challanges<\/b>
\nChoosing – getting the right CMS
\nTimescales – don’t spend too long on choosing this
\nPlatform independence (with Editor)
\nHow to use it
\nSetup\/Implementation
\nBuy-in – institutional\/user
\nDelegated rights management
\nCost – captial and recurrent
\nOngoing support\/training
\nFlexibility
\nManaging (users) expectations
\nIntegration
\nMigration
\nWeb standards
\nFuture proofing
\nDynamic content
\nOwnership – IT, Communications
\nScope
\nAccessibility (Output)
\nUsability (Editor)
\nSeeing through marketing
\nRealistic about Open Source developments
\nLength of trial – longer the better
\nVisiting successful implementations<\/p>\n

So – drawing out 3 themes\/issues for further discussion tomorrow<\/b>:<\/p>\n
