@stevenspriggs @emilysquared Slate is fundamentally a nice CMS. The real question is “Can we maintain it?” & “Is that the best posble move?”
@stevenspriggs @emilysquared No doubt. But what if stuff like the WVU Timeline could be managed by Slate & Joe Schmoe? Extensibility.
@benradler Anything where they are able to upload and publish content w/o approval. Like http://reservoirt.com (ish).
@stevenspriggs @emilysquared Haha. Should have had an “other” option.
@emilysquared So by portal I hope you don’t mean D–tel. Besides, open source is the way of the future! Collective knowledge > You or I.
@emilysquared So, emilysquared, Liferay or Slate? Don’t worry, I’ll keep Dave and Steve in check. ;-)
