Sounds interesting. Might
Sounds interesting. Might pick-up some useful tips for my upcoming work remaking the AIRS Project web site on Drupal 6.x.
Maybe someone from Robertson who is working with Fedora (Islandora) will be in attendance at our local gathering and would be willing to briefly go-over their thoughts on this topic after the webinar?
Hope to see a few people there!
