Amnesty Enters Final Sprint on Project IMPACT

I think this is my what — fourth post on Project IMPACT since I started working on it back in January? It's been such an intense and challenging project I simply haven't had time to blog about it properly (or about much of anything else come to think of it — my apologies, Alex, for not responding to your Basecamp workflow or Web of Change session notes yet).

The update, then: we're now heading into our fifth of five development sprints with CivicActions (we've been using Scrum to manage the technical development stream of the project — lots of valuable lessons learned there to relay another time) and are finally beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel (for the last five months, we've been working to completely rebuild http://amnesty.org in Drupal, integrate the new site with CiviCRM, and to integrate Drupal with Alfresco, the open source document management system Amnesty has selected as a replacement to its existing repository of 100,000+ reports).

Next week, Jenn and Jacob of CivicActions come back to London, the week after that we'll be joined by Sam, and I'm hoping that when we're all in a room together instead of a bunch of different time zones, I'll actually have a chance to blog about the project in more detail. And until then I really should get back to work :)
