Dear list members,
I would very much like to have the feedback of some fellow
professionals on this. My information management oriented view
raises issues which don't appear to be having the required impact
on decision makers, hence this request for your input:
My institution is redeveloping its web presence and is due to
launch its new site in August/September. It is planned that a new
ColdFusion server will become the primary server (www.rgu.ac.uk)
and the existing site, hosted on an IIS server, will be renamed (e.g.
ww2.rgu.ac.uk) and kept only as a legacy. The existing site has
been maintained in a devolved fashion over the last 5 or 6 years,
containing most of the university departments' sites which are
administered by various people using various means e.g. raw
HTML, FrontPage etc. The new site will be a ColdFusion driven
front-end, and future developments on it will be made using a
custom written editor suite which enables pages to be
constructed/maintained from users' desktops. User FTP access
will not be available to the new server.
I would like to know what you think about this approach. Obviously
there are implications in any redevelopment - I would like to know
specifically what some of these might be in this instance
Your help much appreciated,
Iain
