Hey guys, sorry, but what does CMS stand for, I mean what's it?
Here at Banco do Brasil, the bigger financial company of latin america,
security is paramount. We are dealing well with that teaching people to use
the watch features, as it was said.

And they are right to say that. ("MediaWiki
is not designed to be a CMS,
or to protect sensitive data....)
Well... they're correct that MediaWiki's rights management isn't very
powerful, but it might still be powerful "enough" for many uses.
In a typical corporation, a tremendous amount of information does not need
to be access-controlled. Wikis are excellent for this kind of information.
Additionally, there is information that people THINK needs to be
access-controlled, but doesn't really need it. If you educate people about
the MediaWiki "watch" feature -- that people can be notified instantly if
someone messes with their articles -- that may be enough to satisfy people.
Finally, you have the small amount of information that truly needs tight
access control: legal documents, financial documents, Human Resources
official policies, etc. Buy a heavyweight CMS for that, and use lightweight
MediaWiki for the rest!
