BC People project

This was my first project involving a fairly large team, and it was a very positive experience. We had videographers and photographers traveling all over the province, writers, copy editors, designers, audio & video editors, and programmers. We're doing an official launch in a few days, but if anyone has any constructive feedback I'd be happy to hear it as I'm still doing minor tweaks this weekend.

http://www.bcpeople.ca

Using CMSMS 1.9.2 (site was also used for beta testing 1.9)
CGSimpleSmarty 1.4.7 (for session variable setting)
ScriptDeploy 0.8 (for combining javascript - still working on this)
Showtime 2.0.2 (as a fallback for the slideshows when Flash isn't installed)

Also uses the following resources that don't have CMSMS modules.. but maybe they should?

FlexPaper (for viewing the book) with PDF fallback
SoundSlides Plus (for creating the Flash slideshows with audio)
HTML5 audio podcasts, with Flash fallback (and further fallbacks for ie with no flash, etc)

I'd like to thank the amazing amount of support I had from the CMSMS community with this (and all my other) projects. Specifically, Tyman00, Calguy, and DrCSS in the IRC channel provided much needed assistance.
