Web site development
During our recent meeting, it was decided that we would work to redevelop our Web site to act as a clearing house for information about the INDI Project.
Over the past few months we have received a number of inquiries about the project from other institutions. These include archivists interested in how the system compares to other archival management applications (such as Archon or Archivists Toolkit), programmers interested in the technological underpinnings of the system, and archival administrators interested in the benefits of workflow management in archival processing. In the past we have created various documents to meet the needs of these groups, but we believe that it would be more effective to develop a single site that might meet the needs of these various audiences.
By developing this site, we also hope to generate more interest in the archival community in our developing product. Over the past year there have been a number of other products made available to archivists to help manage their work. While these offer workable solutions for some institutions, we believe that INDI’s focus on workflow management and collaboration sets it apart from its competitors and makes an important contribution to the archival community.
We hope that readers will be able to track our progress on the project, as we move toward our release date.
