web steering committee

Attended a meeting of the web steering committee, to discuss implementation of the new museum website. A web restructure is a great opportunity to consider the incorporation of all the issues we have been looking at here - web 2.0, audiences both virtual and physical, interactivity, and the development of an underlying technical structure that is flexible, adaptable and easily updatable. Content managment systems for places such as museums need to have specific and unique characteristics, and to be tailor made to suit all the facets of the website. It will be an interesting process to see how this particular website is transformed.
