But becuase museum folks are a bit behind with the tech know-how, they don't really realize that their new program solves nothing. It's on the web, people can use it, problem solved! The only real solution to the lack of interactive museum community, as far as I can see, is for each museums to hire a tech person to really design the programs, and where's the money for that.
