Plone used for UNC medical school portal

Newsforge has a story about the University of North Carolina School of Medicine and affiliated hospitals use of Plone content management software. Free and Open Source Web content management software is a great success story for FOSS and UNC appears to be making good use of it: ‘ At the University of North Carolina School of Medicine and affiliated hospitals, intranet and Web site users felt like they were “visiting a foreign land” each time they landed on a different department, says UNC Healthcare IT staff director Jim Walsh. Each department had it own look and feel, which made a hodge-podge for people going from site to site to perform searches and look up information. Today, however, after a revamp that included migration to the Plone open source content management system, site visitors have sense of a unified organization, and UNC staff feel at home with the new technology…’ Linux Medical News does not use Plone yet, but may in the future since it is based upon the same Zope software.
