[Mediawiki-l] Animal Kingdom Database

[David Blomstrom]

I want to learn how to make a content management system for a website 
focusing on the animal kingdom. It will be somewhat similar to the 
Animal Diversity Web. Here's an example of their pages:

http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Canis_lupus.html

But my site will have more features, and the appearance will be more 
refined. The body will consist of three columns, with advertising in the 
right column. I would like the URLs to display like this:

www.geozoo.org/stacks/Carnivora/
www.geozoo.org/stacks/Canidae/
www.geozoo.org/stacks/Canis_lupus/

Would MediaWiki be a good choice for a project like this?  I was 
thinking about trying Mambo, but I haven't even received answers to my 
most basic questions on their users list. I downloaded and installed 
Plone, which is what the Animal Diversity Web, but it's a can of worms - 
not even remotely user friendly.

Thanks.
