Over the weekend I ran into an interesting idea that I thought I would highlight here. William & Mary is in the middle of a web redesign and I believe a CMS implementation. (Not 100% sure) Here is a link to the blog. http://reweb.blogspot.com/
In the world of Web 2.0 this is a great way to engage the campus community in a process where to be successful you need “buy-in”. When redesigned our site in 2006 we had a webpage but it didn’t provide the opporutnity for comments nor was it updated regularly. This would have been a much more helpful approach.
Nice job to the W & M web team!

Hi Paul,
You are right, our web redesign includes a CMS implementation. We purchased Hannon Hill Cascade and will launch on July 31. Thanks for the shout out. As you know, we were inspired by the Gettysburg redesign and particularly your presentation at Portals 2007. Stay in touch.

I wish we did a good of a job at internal communications during our efforts a few years back.
