  • There may not be time to address all of the content - this is the same disadvantage for both of the current approaches.
  • The migration of existing content is likely to add complexity and take time we otherwise wouldn't have needed to spend.
  • Because people have their new look sites they may be less likely to value co-operating with other changes we would like them to make to content.

Outstanding Issues

  • This approach won't work where we are making changes to structure
    • Engineering Faculty and School is being merged
    • Education Faculty and School is being merged
    • NZSM is on a very distinct site - do we include this in the project at all. Originally it wasn't part of the project as the school was staying independent.
  • New content will be being developed at the same time the templates are being built. We need to decide how and when to approach integrating the new content - before, during or after migration

The Process

  1. Socialise the approach
  2. Identify the requirements and scope
  3. Work out how to migrate existing content programatically 
  4. Building the template
  5. Migrate the content / Integrate new content
  6. Check the content
  7. Training web publishers
  8. Handover site to Faculty or School
