During 2006, the Foundation Council created a road map and specification for the development of the underlying archive tool. Built upon the Komodo CMS, web content management system, development of custom functionality commenced in September 2006, with a target completion date of February 2007.
In early 2007, preliminary content will be submitted to the archive with an initial public launch anticipated in the second-half of 2007. Further updates on progress will be posted during 2007.

Foundation Council members appointed

A Foundation Council has been created to provide impetus for the project. After the launch of the Pinnacle Collection in 2008, the Foundation Council will stand aside to allow for the election of a Management Council to progress the archive project through the later stages of development and establish a sustainable model of acquiring and managing additional archive records.
The mandate for the Foundation Council is to promote the archive, develop the processes and procedures to support the archive, provide guidelines for the future management structure and assist in the specification of the required archival functionality.
The first members of the Foundation Council are David Warwick, Russell Bevers, Greg Branson, John Butterworth, Russell Kennedy, Wayne Rankin and Ian Scott. Additional members will be appointed in the coming months to provide further depth of experience and strategic input into the development of the archive project. Details of the Foundation Council >>
