Go to http://www.sakaiproject.org/try-sakai and click "Download and
Install".

Updating content is completely separate from being a web designer.  This
site appears to be built using the Drupal content management system.  End
users are not expected to have any design skills to update content.
 Updating content should probably use a nice rich-text editor similar to
the one we use in Sakai.

Okay, can you put together a plan so that the site can be updated routinely
without relying on web designers?  If you are not the person, should we be
talking to Ian instead?

This sentence doesn't make a lot of sense.  RSS is a syndication format so
the content published by the site can be consumed by other apps or sites.

Yes, I completely agree.  I'm elated we have a new site, and I really hope
you can put together a plan of action so we can keep this site up-to-date
with current information.
