IWMW2005: third session

Discussion Group ... interesting idea to divide everyone up by region. South-East turns out to be the biggest, I thought I knew quite a few of the locals, but I didn't do too well in placing many of them.

The idea was to think up challenges with CMSes. Rich material for discussion, indeed. It didn't take long to have a dozen problems up on screen. It'll be more interesting seeing how we propose to resolve those challenges in tomorrow's discussions.

The "CMS issue" seems like a well-travelled road nowadays, and a problem that is diverse and well-documented. Perhaps the biggest problem of all is "what is a CMS anyway?". In some respects I'd have liked a more quirky discussion topic, but I guess you can't beat the CMS as a problem that everyone has something to say about - and that's the point of a discussion group, after all.
