Plone is a popular CMS choice for US universities

[Nate Aune]

I just read this blog post by Carlos de la Guadia (thanks Carlos!)
entitled "Plone is a popular CMS choice for US Universities"
http://blog.delaguardia.com.mx/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=87&blogId=1

Carlos talks about how the University of Leichester chose Plone over
Microsoft Sharepoint and published a report about it.

CMSWire has a summary of the results of a survey made by UC Davis, in
California, about CMS use at 129 american universities. Plone is the
top choice, with 13 implementations. Drupal is close as always, with
10, and Joomla has 8.

A nice list of universities using Plone.

I can see this list has already been added to
http://www.plone4universities.org/universities-using-plone

We should try to get these sites added to http://plone.net/sites and
tagged as "Education". Currently, there are only 134 "education" sites
listed:

Nate,

Are the site owners the ones that need to submit entries to plone.net?
If so, we'll need to convince the people who've submitted to
plone4universities to enter sites there too.

I'd vote for plone.net as the default listing, although it does say
"high-profile sites that highlight an interesting use of the Plone CMS."
So maybe plone.net is more of a showcase than plone4universities?

I do see the appeal of the plone4universities listing, just being higher
ed.  I wonder if it'd make sense to divide the education listing on
plone.net, if just one education listing becomes unwieldy over time.
