How are you using it? Where are you using it? How are you making it degrade gracefully? What are you doing to make sure applications remain accessible?
I barely know spit about Java (well, I know more now, because I've wanted to do some crazier stuff). Do you think everyone who uses Joomla or Wordpress knows PHP? The language it's written in is only barely important, unless you have big plans for...
Coordinate and discuss with other users of the dotCMS content management system.
You might try out any of the POD resources, like Lulu.com. If you're on a campus, you might see if you have a local quick print type office used for bulk printing and publishing.
I tested Joomla for our college early on. We aren't a big school by any means, but I found it to be nowhere near flexible enough for us from an administrative and management point of view, and there's no way I felt I could trust it to scale to our...
Are you paying for JIRA, or did they give you a free license as an edu?
I don't expect it until probably January. JIRA notes a second maintenance patch (1.7b) before the next milestone release. That will probably come sometime this month. The trunk code is definitely not usable yet, but I did go ahead and do a brief p...
The product has a couple things against it in terms of open source development. First, being enterprise grade software, it hasn't gotten anywhere even remotely near the install base of simpler, PHP systems. The natural pool of users is simply smal...

- Primary Job Responsibility
- I run and coordinate usage of our Watchfire WebXM web health monitoring software, and administer our Google Mini search server. I will also be the admin for our CMS, once we launch in 2008. I am the code monkey half of our web team, however full-on programming is not a primary responsibility. I do write some PHP scripts when needed though, and try to oversee the creation of clean and standardized HTML and CSS for the site. I'm also the primary contact point for 508/1210 compliancy issues. I also tend to stir the pot if I think something isn't being done in a relatively efficient manner.

Book Review: Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig
"If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you might have caught on that I recently got into the book Free Culture: The Nature and Future of Creativity by Lawrence Lessig, one of many that I’ve been meaning to check off my least of to-reads. Let me spoil the review by telling you not to bother reading the review, ju… Continue

We are a Datatel site and have SharePoint for our internet-facing web site. We too are scheduled for an ACP demo.
For the most part, each of our Facebook pages has only one person posting to them. However, we also indicated that I should be an admin user for any Facebook fan page officially created by the College. I'm not an admin to actually post anything, b...
Thanks so much for the clarification on this George.

You are reading my mind Liberti. That was going to be one of my next questions. This is something that I need to get done now even before our new website redesign. It looks like from all of the responses that there is a scattershot of different op...
Yes, I agree that some people do not know PHP at all that use Joomla. But as a web programmer first, I learned PHP to be able to create and alter the Joomla templates, create or alter the plugins, the modules etc. . Also, just to be able to unders...
We have two people who administer the main campus page. Any side pages in FaceBook by other departments must still run though this office for approval and to have one administrator assigned to be responsible for what content is put on that page. W...
