Sean, Is the Brooklyn Museum of Art redesign to standards-compliant XHTML and CSS being done in-house, or are you outsourcing to a web firm?
If you are doing it in-house, how did you train your team to get up-to-speed with the newest standards, besides reading Zeldman's book? Do you have any recommendations for the list? And if you are outsourcing, how did you select the firm? I look forward to seeing your redesigned site, and I'm sure others do, too! Thanks, Dana ......................................

For all these reasons we are currently redesigning the Brooklyn Museum of Art web site with standards compliant XHTML and CSS, so in a few months we will hopefully be a good example of a standards-compliant museum website. -- Sean Redmond Brooklyn Museum of Art --- You are currently subscribed to mcn_mcn-l as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to mcn_mcn-l as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [email protected]
