It’s been a slow start to the blogging year in the Web Office, but I’m happy to belatedly start the ball rolling for 2011 with a quick update on what we've been up to recently.
It’s now two years since the first Web CMS-published website went live, and six months since my previous round-up post. Quite a few more sites have gone live in that time:
- Centre for Immunology and Infection (September 2010)
- The Borthwick Institute for Archives (September 2010)
- Department of Language and Linguistics (September 2010)
- Campus Development (October 2010)
- Humanities Research Centre (October 2010)
- Department of Biology (October 2010)
- Centre for Renaissance and Early Modern Studies (October 2010)
- Graduation (October 2010)
- Community pages in the About the University site (November 2010)
- Department of Sociology (November 2010)
- Creative Technology Centre (November 2010)
- The Ron Cooke Hub (November 2010)
- Department of Theatre, Film and Television (November 2010)
- Department of Politics (December 2010)
- Department of History of Art (February 2011)
Quick stats
The amount of content now being published by the CMS is vast: over 25000 web pages and almost double that number of related files. That’s over 7Gb of data, published by more than 500 people who have been trained to use the system.
Coming up
There’s more still to come too, including in the near future:
- A complete revamp of student recruitment sites
- Lots of staff- and student-facing content from the Academic Registry
- New pages from the Accommodation Office
- New Finance Department pages
Other projects
I should add that I had virtually nothing to do with any of the sites above and almost all the credit belongs with other folk in the Web Office team. I’ve been kept busy with a few other things, including:
- developing a public-facing view of Pure, the University’s new research database
- building an online community site for alumni and friends of the University
- bringing a CMS-perspective to plans for an integrated digital signage system for campus
Despite the slow start to the year on the blog, there are hopefully more posts to come and I’ll cover these projects in more detail in future posts.
