Topic: Bricolage Content Management System
Speaker: Neal Sofge of RAND

In 2003, the Pittsburgh-based web development team for the RAND
Corporation <http://www.rand.org/> embarked on a 27-month project to
modernize their online bookstore <http://www.rand.org/pubs/>. To
manage the 20,000+ pages of content involved, they selected the Perl-
based open-source Bricolage <http://bricolage.cc/> system. Join former
RAND Web Technology Manager Neal Sofge for an in-depth exploration of
how Bricolage works, its strengths and weaknesses, and its performance
in real-life enterprise-class usage.

The public is welcome, and no RSVP is necessary.  More information
about this meeting is available on the WPLUG wiki at
