Via James Robertson's Column Two: a new weblog describing the installation of a CMS at Network World Fusion. Adam Gaffin, the site's executive editor, details his experience getting Percussion Rhythmyx up and running. Here is an excerpt:
I'd feel like running through the newsroom this morning yelling "it's alive, it's ALIIIIVE!" if I weren't so tired (what is it about complex projects that you always seem to find lots of small things at the last minute that need fixing, and what is it about large projects that something bad always seems to happen toward the end, just when you're furiously working, like hearing a loud "THUD" outside and running out to see that some dolt busy waving at her friends across the street while also parking hadn't noticed my parked car and so ran right into it?).
Content management--unless you're dealing with a tiny bit of paper--is really complex, and you have to bring this stuff in-house for a little while and really test it out so that these things will work the way youíve been promised.
