This semester has provided me with quite a few institutional challenges in getting this K-log project up and running.
The toughest part has proven finding the right people with the proper skills and the willingness to say "yes" to get some software on the right servers and configured so that we can evaluate. I'm not sure if that process has ended, but we are now at a point where we can at least move forward with evaluation. It has taken FAR longer than I"m comfortable with and it has involved some serious discussions with consultants about deadlines and accountability.
In some ways it's been beneficial because the glacial pace of evaluation and installation has given the group time to really think about the features they're looking at and the types of information they're going to want to get out of this.
As of now, there are two pieces of blogware up and ready for evaluation; Plone and WordPress. Ultimately there will be two more, for a total of 4.
My hope is that, after the holidays, we'll have some serious time to evaluate each system both in terns of easy of administration (CRUCIAL) and ease of use for end-users (the rest of the group).
