Frank, the tech people used for our site postnuke: http://sourceforge.net/projects/post-nuke/ see our site at: www.ctie.missouri.edu It is fairly simple to set up, works with PhP and MySql, can manage content quite easily, and has a variety of user rights .... However, to do exactly what we wanted it still needed coding and a fair amount of twicking. If you invest that time then it is fairly simple in the end. There are many add-on features like different discussionboards or calendar ... that can be very easily installed as modules and downloaded from user-sites. There is quite an amount of post-nuke style cms-systems out there as you can see at this list: http://www.opensourcecms.com/ This meta-site also uses post- nuke. We compared quite a bit and were running movable type etc. but found post- nuke the most suitable for our need (a lot of pages needed to be changed by a variety of people). Well, another solution could be tinderbox by Eastgate (commercial): http://www.eastgate.com/Tinderbox/ If you have a Mac, tinderbox is a personal content management system with web- publishing capability and features to integrate your existing blogging systems .... Let me or the list know, what you decided on and your experience with it.
