Congratulations to Jasig on Launch of New Website
Just a quick post to extend congratulations to Jasig on the launch of the new Jasig website. It's looking very good and the move into Drupal should make it more possible to maintain and extend the website in the days to come. Well done.
I understand Jim Helwig of the University of Wisconsin is to be particularly thanked for his hard work on making uPortal's presence in this new website much better than it would otherwise have been. (Jim also generously and ably chairs the uPortal Steering Committee.) Of course, thanks are also due to Chuck Crandall (previously a Unicon employee) and his Drupal consulting / full service website shop WebChuckWeb. I continue to be impressed with him and his work and to wish him the best of everything in his WebChuckWeb endeavor, though of course I miss working with him more directly here at Unicon.
Others are due thanks and recognition for this website effort as well -- congratulations to everyone on a job well done and the beginning of a more maintainable and effective website.
