Hi,
Last time (a while ago) I spend some time looking at the RGU site ... ehmm it
left me wanting. Your approach then was IMHO too much top-down for
administrative and academic departments, consequently not having that much
content.
What you are proposing here will do even more of the same. It is all very wel
making it easy (easier) for people to publish their material on the web and at
the same time retain a corporate appearance set in concrete BUT at the same
time you must find ways of giving them ownership and control of the
information, thus - you hope - they will be encouraged to do even more.
Things may have changed now so apologies if I am out of date.
What are your concerns?
Regards
Charles :-)
