Are any of these content management systems worth looking at?
https://hostingconnection.godaddy.com/AllApplications.aspx?id=8 (apart from
those with a $ next to them). I might be able to get something else for
Linux installed and running manually, but no promises there.
Site is now on PHP 5.x with 2 WordPress installs and a MediaWiki install
supposedly coming online soon.
The general look of the site is pretty good, and there's plenty of graphics
that could be used even if we started from scratch again. I'm not entirely
happy with the Editors' blog setup, as far as I can tell it was hacked
together instead of written as a WordPress theme. Looking at the 'opinions'
blog I've installed, there's a lot can be done to tweak a theme.
So, we'll need a 'house style' to be applied across the entire site - front,
blogs, wiki. Assuming a main colour for this style, then a different main
colour but all the same appearance for the opinions blog to distinguish it
from the journalism process of editors'. The wiki might be the trickiest
part, but depending on how fine-tuned access can be implemented on MediaWiki
the whole thing may need hidden from all but users granted access - in which
case who cares if it is really pretty. [Yes, this is for the embargoed
wiki.]
On which note, who has installed/run MediaWiki?

Since I did the first incarnation of wikinewsie, I don't mind doing the
second.
