[chisigmail] Winners of inaugural Intranet Innovation Awards announced

[Patrick Kennedy]

I thought this would be of interest to CHISIG members due to the degree 
which usability (of web applications) was a factor in creating 
innovative intranet functionality.


> The inaugural Intranet Innovation Awards celebrate new ideas and

> innovative approaches to the enhancement and delivery of intranets.

> Uniquely, these awards recognise individual intranet improvements, and

> not intranets as a whole. The awards are about improving all intranets,

> by sharing great ideas and increasing the pace of innovation across the

> whole of the intranet community.
