I thought I'd give everyone on the list an update on how Lenya usage is going at my site. We haven't fully gone live with our service yet, but we're getting there. We currently have about 20 K-12 school districts in the site signed up for training, and plenty more wanting to sign on. We've been promoting it to the schools in North Dakota for a while now, and Lenya and our support of it has reached a level that we consider stable and complete enough to move the service forward. We've actually gone out and done usage training at about 6 schools in the state, and all of the teachers seem excited to use it. I need to move one site over from a dev site to a live site to replace their old one ftp account hosted solution that was also through us. We're requiring training as a break to the growth of the service. I am a little worried about eventually overloading the server, which runs over 200 static sites at the moment.

It has taken longer than we would have liked to get to this point. However, this is the most ambitious project we've taken on in a long time, and we have a rather small number of people working on the project. My self and my organization would like to thank everyone for their work on Lenya. Once the schools get more content on their site, I'll post a few URLs for sites running through this service. We did have an interesting case where a different gov't organization needed a portion of their site to be fast moving, but any changes to their site requires lots of approval and work to do. So they are proxying part of their site on through to a Lenya publication that we setup with their template. Looks like it belongs to their site.

On a related note, I do have a paper proposal in for ApacheCon EU 2008 in Amsterdam on what is new in the upcoming 2.0 release and some of the stuff I've done to deploy this to the schools in the state.

Thanks,
Richard
