I keep thinking Drupal is worth a serious look for use at the School of Drama. And if Yahoo thinks it will work for them, why not for us?
Boxes and Arrows: Implementing a Pattern Library in the Real World: A Yahoo! Case Study
Yahoo?s multiple business units, each containing decentralized user experience teams, have a natural tendency to design different solutions to similar problems. Left unchecked, these differences would weaken the Yahoo! brand and produce a less usable network of products. Designers and managers have discussed ?standards? as a way to solve this problem but this standards content (often contained only in the memories of designers) has never existed in a commonly accessible format.
This is a really well written case study.
