The IMA has again knocked it out of the park with a new Web site. They are launching a very “Arts Networky” video broadcast site (philosophy, channels and all).
I am in love with this guy. He's funny and a good writer. And I tend to agree with him.
We now have 2 Flash shorts illustrating the Arts Network -- narration by our own Homer Gutierrez :)

We have finally hit the stage in our project where we have a lovely new design for our current site, ramped up infrastructure and wireframed basic templates. The nasty business of cleaning and mapping current content into the new order is up next. We have a pretty good inventory at this point, but always fun to get a visual. This one grabbed with PowerMapper:

Yikes.
I will post wireframes and other site maps in the DOC area.
After a long break from contributing to this blog, I am finally posting a pile of our project docs to the DOCS section of this site. Primarily PM stuff, but will begin some useful tech specs soon.
