Farewell to Web CMS Fiona

TU Dortmund University will discontinue operation of the Fiona web CMS system on August 31, 2023. Most of the websites have already been moved to the new CMS Typo3.

The central website of TU Dortmund University has been completely overhauled and went online with a new layout back in December 2018 to mark the 50th anniversary of TU Dortmund University. Since May 2020, all decentralized Fiona sites have also been successfully converted to TYPO3. Currently, 330 websites have already been created in TYPO3, of which 240 websites are online.

You can find an overview of all sites implemented and launched with TYPO3 on the pages of our TYPO3-Doku site.

Since only very few websites are still using Fiona and the system is to be completely replaced, TU Dortmund University will discontinue Fiona on August 31, 2023. What this may mean for your Fiona websites and further information on the Fiona shutdown can be found on the ServicePortal pages.

The Webrelaunch team is happy to offer you the option of switching your Fiona website to TYPO3. You can easily apply for a TYPO3 appearance on the pages of the Doku appearance without any obligation for the time being. After we have received your application, we will invite you to an info meeting. Here we will discuss the further procedure, the language option of your future TYPO3 appearance, training and other technical and organizational questions. We will also inform you about further support options in the ServicePortal.
