Janet Jaffke replied to Janet Jaffke's discussion Rich Snippets Anyone? in the group SEO"I was thinking maybe the person and place may seem slightly useful as well, particularly for some higher profile content. In general I agree with you, it would be nice if education specific schemas were created. Thanks for your thoughts.

James Fuller replied to Janet Jaffke's discussion Free open source CMS - really free?"Look for a CMS that your team would feel comfortable using. If your team know a specific server configuration (LAMP, MAMP, WAMP etc) better than others, look for CMSs that run well in that configuration. There are a bunch of other little preferences…"

George Thompson replied to Janet Jaffke's discussion Free open source CMS - really free?"I can't add much more to what Michael and Chris have already posted. Except to agree and reinforce their comments. The CMS is only a means to an end. Understand your functional specs, work on a content strategy, and get the internal support you…"
Michael Fienen replied to Janet Jaffke's discussion Free open source CMS - really free?"I really hate hearing people say that they're evaluating open source because of budget, as if FOSS is some kind of pariah to avoid at all costs. You don't have to spend money to get a good product. Like Chris said, if you can commit a…"
Chris Wiegman replied to Janet Jaffke's discussion Free open source CMS - really free?"You're right in that free is not really free. The major trade-off when going FOSS for your CMS is going to be support. Simply put, you will have to have an expert in the chosen system on staff.
In our school we are very…"

Ultimately i would like this software to management faculty office interms of when resources can be removed from a particular office and when a new faculty member can be moved in with the necessary resources.
