I am a member of a local MCTI group. (Market and Coastal Towns Initiative). Recently on their behalf I went on a seminar which was an intro to a CMS program which has been created especially for groups like ours to easily set up our own web site. I reported back yesterday and agreed to test the CMS out for them. Then I ran into a problem. At the seminar, of course, all the computers were running MS Windows. Now I have tried it out at home on my kubuntu set up it has failed with a message about needing to find the registry!! On checking further it appears that the CMS needs Windows to work properly, not Mac and not Linux. It even seems to need IE v 7 rather than v 6. So I have reported back to the chairman of the MCTi explaining that I will not be able to help them, and that I could not recommend using a program which is so biased one way. Meanwhile, I am wondering if I could help out by setting up the web site myself. It would not be a very complicated one, and I have written one already for myself. I have looked at Drupal and Joomla among others and also considered something simpler such as Bluefish or NVU. Most of the CMS programs out there seem to be rather too powerful for what we need and could have a steep learning curve. Anyway, if anyone has any comments or suggestion I would be grateful.
