Er...

Spectra and Farcry... They're quoted in your original msg.

As Dave was pointing out, though... Free has many meanings.  If you can
fire it up in a few minutes and start securely entering content that's
free.  If you need to spend a week figuring it out that's free too...

Insofar as free is concerned the *download* is free.  What you do with
it from there is perhaps more your affair than you prefer.  Or maybe
not.  What's your time worth?  Maybe whats free is ready to rock right
now and you will be as happy as the proverbial clam with that free
solution.  Have at it and enjoy.

But I suspect it wqon't go that way.  Free could mean a free download
and 3 months' of a trained IT guy's salary figuring stuff out.  Great if
you are the IT guy, but sucky otherwise.

I would argue though that doofus-user usability is the most important
measure for any cms.  All the wondrous features aside, if staff can't
show up and do stuff -- unfettered by a security system that is present
and working but transparent to their perception -- then it's a bad
solution.

No shortage of disagreement on that front, I'm sure :D

Cheers,

I can't comment on FarCry, but just because Spectra itself is free, now,
doesn't mean that it's the cheapest solution by a long shot.
