Are any of these content management systems worth looking at?
I would just wipe out the whole site and do a Drupal CMS, if that's what
we're looking for. We can add blogs to the Drupal system, and do a custom
theme to be similar to what we have. I would, however, prefer to install
Drupal manually, as the ones that tend to be in hoster panels tend to be
pretty outdated.
On which note, who has installed/run MediaWiki?
I did, albeit breifly. Found it too big for the purpose I wanted. I can look
at restricting access though.
