I agree with a lot that's been said, and I wanted to add one other related point: Any good web developer, and especially any developer working with nonprofits,...
We recently underwent a redesign that included switching from a proprietary custom CMS to an open source once, with an open source CRM tacked on for good...

Gary, I've found WordPress pretty easy to use for non-blog material. It's what my web site was created in. I didn't have a blog on it for the first few...
Dear ISF Colleagues, Many thanks are due to Amy Sample Ward for the heads-up about this, along with apologies to Rachel Levine <http://rlevineconsulting.com/>....
My vote is for iYenta. Second choice, eYenta. Here are some more (not so good) suggestions. Cyber Magpie if you want to emphasize the gossipy connotation. ...
I have a question for all of those on this list-serve. One thing that really seams to be prevalent in this sector that isn't as prevalent in the for-profit...

As someone who works with both for-profit and non-profit clients, I don't see a big difference between the sectors in this regard. I think it's more of a...
I like Fuller's suggestion of Cyber Maven. Along the same (Yiddish) lines: Cyber Mensch (literally "man" but figuratively "decent human being or good, honest...
I wonder if "their seams" is an intentional typo/Freudian slip? It underlines your point so nicely. I think there are several factors that may work to prevent...
I certainly think there are opportunities to better integrate tech functions and programmatic/ operational functions in most nonprofits. But saying there...

I like that analysis, Eddie. I see a couple of faces of this issue. One is that there is a common assumption among, well, how else to say it, "non technical"...
I do agree that their definitely need to be certain separations.� What I ultimately wish however is that their is a little bit more integration. A...
I am techie in an organization with 12,000 users and also a non-techie social worker who actively participates at a management level in several nonprofit...

I?d only like to point out that the i in iYenta probably suggests predilection toward Macintosh and all things Apple [it mostly refers to their hardware]...
I'm in full agreement with "You're far better served to invest in their strengths, and help them work around their weaknesses." thus, I have a great...
What I also find amazing is that many professional individuals don't know how do a simple business process analysis and a simple workflow of what they manage....
Aha! After years of lamenting the fact that technology funding is so difficult to obtain, I see from this discussion that technology funding would in many...
I'd like to register a vote against cyber-anything. It seems a bit dated to me - conjures up images of Dr Who's kitchie cybermen and even Russell Davies...
After reading several posts on this topic I am still a bit confused about the definition of a "techie". I write in Fortran, Cobal, Basic, TI Basic, RTL, HTML,...
