[ACT-R-users] Overhauling the ACT-R website

[Bonnie E John]

We use drupal for the CogTool website and it has been nothing but a
headache - I can go into details, but won't here unless somebody asks me
to. As further evidence against drupal, just last week, Terry Winograd was
speaking at the HCI Seminar and the HCI Institute's web page, which also
uses drupal, showed the talk being in two different locations depending on
where you looked on the HCII page -- drupal had a bug that updated the
information in one place and didn't in another!

Hi all,

I was about to queue the multiple advantages of wordpress until I read
Wayne's reply ;). To sum it up (and that has pretty much been my job for
the past 5 years: portals/content/accessibility) I would put it this way:
- Low-end, basic HTML serving with minimal hassle and small application:
wordpress.
- Medium-end, some "semantic" features and high extensibility (large active
communities): Drupal, Magnolia (mainly depends on the software stack one
wants to control)
- High-end, fully "enterprise" capable: Liferay, Exo (java based)

I personally would push toward something that is starting to be
semantic-aware, as to best leverage content (linked-data) and take
advantage of the multiplicity of content-enhancement that are popping all
over the web.

Here's my 2 cents, and wish you the best for the site project,

_Stephane

            Dear John,
            If you are looking for simply managing online content,
            depending on traffic, I would recommend either
            http://wordpress.org/ (low traffic) or http://www.joomla.org/
            (high trafffic). For application development, I would suggest
            http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/overview.html .

              The current ACT-R website probably could use some
              improvements.
              Suggestions welcome

              We are also finding it increasing difficulty to maintain the
              current
              site and are looking for a better, more modern system.
              Suggestions
              again welcome.

              Thanks,
              John
