All Milestones and Schedule: 

May 15: Review of progress with Students on how much they could learn Drupal and move the design from AZCentral content management system to Drupal.

 

Update from 5/15/2008: Client: "Our original vision was to have the students recreate the site during the summer. However with budget cuts and no director, it's still up in the air."

 

Update from Aug 18: New Student Media Director is in place and would like to continue with the project. He reported that their student workers were working on Drupal version, attended several UTO Web Consulting open office hours for support and will be ready for launch within the week of Aug 18th.
 

Deliverables: 

A new website design in UTO's Drupal system.

Content archived in old AZ Republic system and new content to be created in Drupal after summer 2008.

All other changes asked in the Excel sheet "webdevils redesign project requirements and phases".
