[Glastonbury] LUGOG site content management solution

[Sean Miller]

I've been looking at content management solutions for the LUGOG site as 
folks seem to dislike Mambo...

It occurs to me that we have two solutions...

a) We choose another package... to this effect I could install several 
and folks could see which they prefer.
b) We write something bespoke.

With option (b) I would consider that it be done over a period of time, 
where we could add extra bits in as we go along... the advantage, 
however, would be that we end up with something that everybody is happy 
with.  I believe that I could produce the core functionality fairly 
quickly (within reason) if people tell me what it is that they want, 
then we can enhance the site as people come up with ideas as to what 
they think should go on there...

I quite like the idea of option (b) as it would be something that is 
truly "ours" and we can make the interface very intuitive.  I could not 
promise that it would be delivered tomorow, but can promise (for 
instance) things such as:

- xhtml compliance
- no cross-browser issues
- ease of use

If people want option (b) can they please write to the list with what 
they'd expect from a LUGOG site in terms of function.

Examples:

- forum?
- events?
- user sign-up (for forum)?
- editor privileges?

Could then prioritise and start working on something.

Alternatively, if folks would rather install an "off the shelf" content 
management system I will upload several and we can have a vote on which 
one we want to use.

Over to you, folks !
