WCMS Project Approved

Our project at IDRC, to create a Web content management system using an open source platform, was approved yesterday. This is something I have been working on formally for about eighteen months, and informally for more than two years. Steve Song asked me today whether or not I was relieved; I am certainly happy, but there is a lot of work to be done immediately, and the challenge is to keep focused on the task at hand while still being aware of the long term. We will finally, after four years here, have a Web team that should be able to manage the Web sites and facilitate content creation in ways that haven't been possible before. I think we will be building some interesting things.
