Web Services
14 February 2009

URLFor years members have identified web services as a high priority. As such, CASE submitted a funding proposal to the ACT Community Support and Infrastructure Grants Program to provide Joomla! web based content management systems and associated training. Although our application was deemed appropriate, for the second year running the CSIG budget was insufficient to meet the needs of the sector and therefore our application was not successful. The good news is that the project will go ahead. Details coming soon.
