Sanger. It’s a lucid, thoughtful look inside the Bush foreign policy legacy, with a strong focus on the challenging global security situations in North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan that the Obama administration must contend with.   Sobering and worthwhile.

Part I: Why Plone?

Part II: Design and Development

Part III: Lessons Learned

Lots of great lessons in there about what it takes to manage a successful big-league government website project with a world-class open-source CMS like Plone.

And, while we’re on the topic of Plone for government agencies Ken Wasetis’ talk about Why Plone Works Well for Large Government Agencies is well worth watching.
