items with any kind of regularity to really fit with that kind of style. I
think it better to admit that we are much more a static pages kind of
setup, and whilst i hear that WP can be bludgeoned into that task, would it
not be better to start with something based on that philosophy, such as a
wiki, from the offset ?

themes/skins/templates (whatever you want to call them), the ease of adding
new pages (or posts if you have them) and the ease of making alterations to
existing pages (or posts if you have them).  You don't have to have any
blog-like pages at all on a WP site if you don't want to.  I could set up a
blog-less WP site in the time it takes me to type in the content (plus a
bit for installation - say 30 mins including setting up the database).

That would be simplest thing to do! A bit of discussion on the list with
the static element pretty much fixed :-)
