Nathan Glass and Stephanie Kern of Texas A&M Health Science Center will be presenting their implementation of Cascade server. They have spent several months tweaking their implementation and feel that some of the things they learned are worth sharing. They will talk about the organization of the backend, the configuration of the templates, and how they've implemented JavaScript libraries and other tools. They will also discuss different strategies for obtaining buy-in for the CMS from otherwise unwilling end users.
