We had a webmaster working on a complete re-write, with a completely custom interface that *damn* looked good and was really quite neat. Gave a good feel for what Window Maker on the desktop is like. That project grew and grew until it got too large. Using something off-the-shelf, like MojoMojo, Trac, RedMine, Drupal, the list goes on, alleviates the development time problem, but does present others. Namely, the themeing and the content migration. I'm asking for two things: 1) Recomendations for a decent CMS. I've not used many/any so anything I pick would be at random. 2) Help with content migration. -- John H.
