Rethinking Content Management

A gallery of community approaches to these questions:

  • The design implemented during the Cambridge Get-Together, although experimental, reflects some of the more recent thinking
  • The Image Gallery from Berkeley focuses on image file collections, but its designs are generalizable to other content forms
  • NYU's vision articulates some of the higher-level goals and user needs that should be met
  • Sousa , a Mark Norton Project (TM)
  • My Sakai File Manager tackles focused file management at the widget level.

Common themes

  • separating file management from content presentation
  • using tagging and other Web 2.0 memes for organization rather than the file/folder hierarchies
  • lacing together content from remote repositories rather than native Sakai storage
