Yes, I am TheJonathan

I really appreciate everyone coming up and telling me that I was able to help them out in the RedDot Google Group or that we were able to give them a new way to approach something. I’d also like to thank my colleague (and co-presenter), Andre, for helping implement the process and information architecture framework that makes us successful.

RedDot is a pretty good piece of software for mid-tier content management, and it works pretty good out-of-the-box. But it’s great to see more-and-more people pushing it further to enhance the user-experience inside SmartEdit. It’s really great to identify those areas of your projects where editors are spending most of their time (i.e. adding a story, creating a gallery) and use the RedDot Query Language (RQL) and some DHTML/Ajax to make them more efficient. In the end, you get happier users and less broken SmartTree structures, so it’s pretty-much a win-win situation.

Anyhow, it was great to meet you all and I’m sure to see you all around the group and future Summits. I’m going to the beach

UPDATE: Thanks for the write-up from Sowrey.org
