ntil recently, each of Belgium's 190 police zones had their own websites, each running different proprietary systems. To increase the usability, and to cut down licensing costs, all 190 sites will be migrated to Joomla by the end of 2010.  This creates some challenging problems: how to maintain these sites? How to create consistency, yet allow for the required flexibility for each autonomous zone? How do you train and support your users?
