Hi all,

We will resume monthly WebDev meetings today at 1:30 in 225 McWherter Library, and plan to meet regularly on the second Tuesday of each month.

• People web server deprecation
• Luminis content management system
• Proposed U of M web policy and guidelines
• Ultraseek search engine (search.memphis.edu)
