One of the things that stands out is the quantity of things on my plate that need improvement. I really want to get going on some of this stuff and I am interested in utilizing a decision making model that is known for its reliable results. The most reliable one that I know of is to think thoroughly, brainstorm potential solutions, evaluate solutions and, ultimately, take a risk by making a decision. So, these are some of the things I need to decide about:

FAQ system – leaning towards Interspire ActiveKB, but maybe I should use the ASK Drupal module

Content Management System – down to drupal vs. joomla

ad-hoc forms system – this tends to be a complete hack, but I’d like to have it make some sense when it is all said and done. Kinda liking drupal webforms module. Also am considering just doing it in PHP.

project portfolio management. Really, a fancy name for the fact that people want stuff done and we can’t do all of it right now. We need a way to prioritize, estimate, complete and generally, to perform.
