Rick. We use Vignette for content management. We’ve looked (and are looking) at other alternatives all the time.

Mariano. Fixed.

Thanks for all of the great feedback!!

One note: the audience isn’t just the press, as I mentioned. It’s for the press, opinion leaders and the public in general.

I’ve updated the post accordingly.

First off, congratulations on the new blog. I love it and the willingness to be open about the Church’s IT direction, plans, etc.

The new newsite looks great. I’m curious to know what content management system you’re using. I’m looking at Xoops for some personal business projects. (Xoops — http://www.xoops.org — is an OpenSource content managment system).

Also, I’m quite impressed with the openness concerning sharing of spreadsheets, databases, etc. to help get the work done on a local level.

Having been a ward clerk twice (and a long time IT professional), we were always looking for ways to get the work done which simply couldn’t be done with MIS. I haven’t had as much experience with MLS. I moved from our ward a few months after it was installed there. I’ve most recently been serving as a YM president and so haven’t had as much direct involvement in it.

And since I’ll soon be moving to Kaysville, UT, I would be very much interested in attending one the Church’s technology seminars in SLC.

Keep up the good work.

Rick
