[cms-list] CMS for project site

[Emmanuel Fr�con]

Dear all,

Pardon me if this mail is a bit OT or if it has been discussed a number of times before.

I will soon be responsible for the Web site of a project team that is spread over the country. This is a research project, so typical items that will be there will be restricted to news items, presentation of the projects and its work-packages, reports generated during the life-time of the project, possibly some pictures over activities that the project has relations to, a catalogue of links of some sort. Nothing pretty exciting really.

My concern is that I would like a number of people to edit the site and see CMS and blogs as some quick and cheap way of solving the problem. Researchers typically want to focus on content, not on the appearance of the site (this applies to me as well!). I will probably need some ready made templates that I can easily slightly modify.

I was tempted to install some kind of blogging tool (PostNuke and *all* the like), but they are too news oriented. The central part of the web page contains the latest news. I wish to change this to give a more professional description of the project, etc. News items are interesting though, they can well be in one of the side bars of the site.

Any good idea upon the system that I could use. Preferably open source.
