Migrating to a Content Management System: suggestion
Massimo Buonaiuto sent me this e-mail:

Dear Massimo and Luigi et al.,
I am sending you a document I prepared more than one year ago about a
possible migration of the content from IPGRI Web site to a CMS.
It was just a draft, and probably the migration would cost less in terms of
resources, but I think it could arise good points to discuss.
Of course, comments are very welcome in the meanwhile...
Regards,
Massimo B.

July 27, 2004 by Robin Good at July 27, 2004 07:02 PMWhen I was at IWMI last September I met with their Web support team. In March 2003 they implemented a simple Web CMS system. This was an open source system and although it did not offer workflow support they decided to proceed with using it as it was a low cost option.
To migrate their 'old' Web site (approx. 2000 pages) into the CMS it took 2 Web 'technicians' two weeks. During this period they worked with a PA specialist/writer who helped reorganize the information and checked the quality of the reworked pages.
I appreciate that our Web site and IWMI's old one possibly have different technical 'requirements' but I thought this might be a useful comparison.
