Surveying the Technical Landscape

We expect to be called upon to talk with the re.web advisory committee about solutions and products to support a W&M web redesign. We're doing a lot of looking at open source content management systems, third party products, and everything in between. Our goal is to educate ourselves about the possibilities so that we can staff an effort to assess and evaluate.

There are a lot of options.

They Got Us Started

Courtney Carpenter, Information Technology (Chair)
Clay Clemens, Government Department

Stewart Gamage, Public Affairs
Earl Granger, Enrollment
Lisa Grimes, Charles Center
Tim Jones, Public Affairs
Jack Martin, English Department
Steve Otto, Arts and Sciences
