Migration Initiative: July 2006 Archives
Progress continues on several fronts with Taylor Online and the Portal.
Over the past several weeks, Online Communications, Information Technology and several other departments have been homing in on a solution for moving distribution of promotional announcements from e-mail to a channel in the portal. A prototype has been developed and approved. Once we work through a few remaining issues and setup the organizational structure, we should be able to begin using it in time for the fall semester. This solution will allow mostly free form Web pages in order to display graphics and other design elements. It will also resolve the hosting and accessibility of attachments.
While awaiting finalization of the athletics templates, we were able to migrate the following departments:
Additionally, we were able to add the Master of Arts in Relgious Studies program to the site. The MES degree will be migrated later since an area other than my own currently maintains that content.
At this stage we have just over 30% of the site migrated. When we complete Athletics, we believe we will have just over 50% of the site completed and hope to be able to provide an estimated timeframe for completion.
We will start Athletics next week and hope to have it complete by the end of the second week in August. Progress will once again be slowed due to vacations during the first week of August.
