I just upgraded CKeditor to version 3.6.2 and deployed it to all active installations of CMSense. Since the latest version of CKeditor supports iOS (at least iOS5), that means that the CMS and iPads are now good friends. Technically, it means it's iPhone compatible too, but I wouldn't recommend trying to do anything more than […]

Led the requirements gathering meeting for a website that will be launched in early 2011 for a newly established Federal technical assistance center. I will be compiling the information and using it to establish the site's information architecture and to develop wireframes and a sitemap.
Kicked off the initial planning for a forthcoming website for a Federally-funded technical assistance center. The new site, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, is slated for launch in December. To start, I'm heading up the requirements gathering process (e.g., defining the audience, site goals, and core functionality) and information architecture. I'll also contribute […]
