This blog focuses on the gap between technology and various stakeholders, especially for content management systems, multilingual web, and large web sites. This blog alternates between fairly technical posts, project management, client relationship management, end even some posts about tools. But the goal remains the same: applying technology for client-centered and user-centric solutions.

Who is David Hobbs?  I am currently a Senior Consultant at Welchman Consulting, consulting on how to govern and manage very large web sites.  Before that, I product managed the content publishing system that hundreds of users across the 30+ units of the World Bank use to manage over 1,000 World Bank sites and publish content in 20+ languages (currently with over 100,000 pieces of content). I have played a variety of related roles at Forum One Communications (a web consulting firm) and UUNET/MCI/Worldcom (a major ISP). Before that I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Chad (where I was known as Dawud), and an X/Motif programmer for Schlumberger.
