Good day!
I need to set up an organizational web site that will have
some characteristics of a weblog (for editorial and news)
and some of a group site ( shared calendar and contacts,
etc.) . I will need to develop some specialized applications
over time. This is for a church so it will have some public
functionality and some internal, protected functionality.
My goals include extensibility, low operational maintenance,
and Debian compatibility.
I have looked at several content management systems for
a basis and wonder what Deb users' experiences are. Some
notes on the research so far:
- I started installing Slash and found that it requires mods
to Debian-installed components. It also appears to be
a resource hog.
- PHP-Nuke seems good except I am concerned about
the tight coupling of logic/presentation and how it will
affect extensibility and the resultant code maintenance.
- Zope and Zope CMF are also interesting, particularly as
they are Deb packages and are built for extensibility. My
only concern is that I haven't seen any Z-CMF examples,
including the dog bowl, that really connect to what I am
doing.
Since all the solutions require a considerable time investment
for research and implementation, I am just looking for some
pre-advice before I get too far down any particular road.
Thanks in advance,
