Derby will have their first web publishing experience."
Councillor Philip Hickson, cabinet member for community safety

that they could deliver the service and support needed to help the
council pilot using content management in schools. We think the
internet and modern web publishing technologies will be at the core
of
education in the future. We want to ensure that schools are
well prepared, firstly with their own websites, and also with the
concept of online publishing as a learning and communications
tool."
