Subject: Pondering CMS options for TEITAC

My expectation is that the Access Board staff is pleased to support
whatever NCAED is comfortable offering. But I see no compelling reason
to add to Jared's workload and I remain unconvinced that more compelling
tools will do much to move the committee and subcommittee members to
change their work habits.

I spent an hour Friday trying to get Don Barrett as excited about the
Wiki as I am. I was not successful.

That said, I have been considering pitching Drupal as an internal tool
for the Board staff, so I am pretty impressed with what little I have
found about it. But such an initiative will have to wait at least a
year.
