For folks who use (or are interested in) Hannon Hill's Cascade Server CMS product
Just wanted to close the lid on this partcular Pandora's box by saying thanks to those who made suggestions about timelines; we ended up sub-contracting for custom flash. See http://125.philau.edu/index.php. What's nice is that the flash is almost 1…

1) Feature stories (i.e., HEADLINES) are updated alm…
The CMS I want doesn't exist, so Cascade is a second choice to that. You have to get to know it for a while -- after a couple years I still feel like I'm guessing at a lot of things, but the user community is awesome.
For the timeline, I'd likely c…
well I don't know how it would integrate into a CMS but you could probably develop a web app that manipulated an XML file through a form. It my write to a mysql db and then have scripts generate the file from the db.
How do you like Cascade Server? We just barely signed the contract and haven't gotten our feet wet, but I had no idea it could handle something like a timeline? Like you, I'm more inclined to go with one of the turnkey solutions listed here in this…
We're looking for a way to make a timeline, with photos, from an XML file. I'd like to set something up in our CMS (Cascade) that creates the XML file -- with folks adding content from a form in the CMS. After looking at a few of these I'm more incl…
Thanks. Looks good and easy to use, but my boss is going to want photos embedded in proximity to the event descriptions. Great that it uses 1 xml file, though.
I've trying out the Similie Project for my own timeline.
The maintainability of it is what drew me to it. Keeping up with 1 xmll file was something I could do.

We haven't done anything official with it, yet, but we're looking at using TimeRime.com to develop our "College History" timeline. I e-mailed the owners of TimeRime to get more details about their TOS. They basically said, as long as we weren't usin…
Thanks, Megg. I'll check 'em out and let you know what I find, too. Appreciate the tip.
I've been meaning to check out the links here for a similar project:

Hello all,
Wondering how many members host their college web sites in house and how many contract the services of an external host? What factors lead to your decision? If you host your site in house, who does the server maintenance- yourself/someone…
We've been exploring SocialEngine for the last few weeks and just made the purchase this morning. It has "subnetworks" within your installation, which I believe will help you keep folks separate and achieve what you're looking for. We bought one lic…

Same story at SUNY-ESF -- Ning network for accepteds rolled out 1/08 with a plan to 'retire' it, well, now actually, and then to relaunch for the next class. The network had student ambassador and admissions staff members, and it included dedicated…

Hi Fellow Canadians,
I'm looking for recommendations on email marketing providers that are based (or at least their server is based) in Canada. I've been using MailChimp out of the US, and it's great, but because of BC's privacy law I can only gath…
Hi all,
We are looking into a tool, software or vendor that could help us develop an online student orientation. Which would include video and flash elements. We recently reviewed Comevo and was wondering if anyone knows of other companies/vendors t…
This company (http://www.universityparent.com/edu) was mentioned at a meeting today, and I was wondering if anyone had any insights as to whether this sort of thing is commonplace, practical, useful, etc.
