cosmotor writes ""A very interesting outcome from that early implementation was a great empowerment of the users and people at authoring level. There was quite a surge of desire for development of content that came very much from grassroots rather than editorial level," Hoskins said. "After the site went live, about a month later, we started getting people saying 'Can we do this? Can we do that? How does this work? Can we make this better?' "That's quite common — suddenly you're no longer having to understand certain technologies, you can own the publishing process at a non-technical level." Eventually, the system could be used by up to a quarter of university staff. "Down the road, this could end up being a very important institutional service," he said. Its nice to see Leeds are leading the way — CMS has been around for years, but making an entire University (especially the size of Leeds, which is massive) use a single CMS is astonishing. Good luck Leeds!"
