If you try and start a CSG assignment within 2
weeks of the previous CSG you hear laughing
Carl knows everybody
Counting is hard
Surveys look great until you analyze them
There is no point in starting to analyze survey
results until 48 hrs before the presentation
The more questions you ask , the more confusing
the results are to correlate

What is a Content Management
System?
In computing, a content management system (CMS) is a
system used to organize and facilitate collaborative
creation of documents and other content. A CMS is
frequently a web application used for managing websites
and web content, though in many cases, content
management systems require special client software for
editing and constructing articles. The market for content
management systems remains fragmented, with many
open-source and proprietary solutions available. -WIKIPEDIA

What is a content management
system?
It’s like a fat substitute. Everybody wants one but
nobody really likes the taste and side effects
when they finally get it and go back to doing
things the old way. --TGD

Preferred Open Source
It was a major factor
Wanted Unix + Apache
XML database + push to multiple web servers
Content in XML with XSLT rendering
Likely to adopt J2EE/ Open Source
