[sakai2-tcc] New Website Content

[Ian Dolphin]

Aaron is correct. We have a couple of strands of activity here - the first is establishing an information structure and a content write/re-write for the CLE, the second is a web design piece. I already have a couple of folks employed on  these strands - the first is further along than the second. Both should complete around the end of July. 

The goal is to create a self contained CLE micro-site with up to date information which is easier to maintain, and with a significant degree of distributed content management. I have appraised the TCC of this through the chair, and several TCC members have been involved in interviews with the person doing the information structure/writing piece (as have others in the community).

I'm sorry if this has created wasted effort.

Best

Ian
