Right first things first. I've tried pretty much all the suggestions so far, most of them are shit Plone is crap Drupal is pretty tight but slightly unforgiving in the customisation area, PHP-Nuke is a bit basic in respect of add-ons. So what can I say about Joomla? Well for starters I've used it and its for runner Mambo for, hm, five odd years? I like it that much that I've spent about £150 on one or two proprietary modules and templates over the last couple of years. Now I'm not foolish enough to say Joomla is the number one but it is the best of the bunch plus with Joomla 1.5 ftp is handled within Joomla itself (After initial ftp upload of the site) TBH any idiot can 'work the site' from the control panel its really simple, New-->type title-->type text--publish front page-->save anyone can do that! I've just purchased a new template for my site and used the customised Joomla they provided it has everything you guys need, Fireboard Forum, Community builder etc etc. The beauty of Joomla is there are loads and loads of add-on freebie modules for it which with a little easy peasy work can make your site look stunning. P. S. Heres my touché Ubuntu must be the best everyone uses it. I use Ubuntu cos I'm a sheep and everyone else uses it. If its decided to go down the Joomla route I'm happy to help/advise however what ever you guys choose I'll be happy with although one question I've not seen raised as such, are we sticking with a 'mailing list' or switching to a forum based system? -- Regards Dick Turpin http://www.cannon-linux.co.uk Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community distribution for intermediate and advanced Linux users. Utilising a Rolling Release System packages are regularly updated and an ISO release is just a snapshot to the stable packages at that time. So there's no need for a fresh install the command 'pacman –Syu' upgrades the whole system. _______________________________________________ Staffslug mailing list Staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk http://lists.staffslug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/staffslug
