CEU Website, 4.1 Iteration, improvements

Dear CEU Community

We are pleased to announce the next version of our Website (4.1) which contains a series of functional, design and content improvements.

The new features are described in the attached document and relate to Academic Areas, Academic/Professional Profiles, standard minisite functions and various types of content. Naturally, we have fixed a large number of bugs, broken links, missing content and other shortcomings of the previous version launched on October 20.

We have also worked hard to establish trusted, efficient and reliable feedback and support mechanisms.

We will be using the month of January for collection of feedback and ideas, reflection, training, and resolving outstanding issues. Our first priority will be to deploy the Publications Repository. Our next development cycle will then begin the first week of February and last for approximately 6 weeks.

Two final notes: (i) For those who have been pointing out minor bugs in latest developments, we thank you very much for the input and will resolve them as soon as we can. (ii) Regarding the web stoppage on Monday (December 21) afternoon: this was due to a necessary database update. Our apologies that there was no advance notice given for this as the severity of disruption was unexpected; please accept the assurances that in the future the Web Team will work closely with the IT Department to prevent such un-announced interruptions to occur.

For other announcements and related documentation, please visit the Web Team minisite at http://www.ceu.hu/webteam, and always feel free to direct feedback to us at ceuwebteam@ceu.hu

Best Regards

CEU Web Team
