Somthing that gets created, then archived. Not really for > content that gets constantly accessed and modified. > You could tweak it to do that: It supports multiple authors, has a "power editing" mode, a built-in search engine and a simple draft/publish workflow. We used it this week for some Comdex coverage, in fact - reporters would post their items in draft mode, then editors would go in, proof the stuff, then mark it "Publish" and poof, it'd go live. But, yeah, might make sense to look for another solution first, especially if you want some flexibility on how items are published on an index page (mt lets you use sort chronologically or alphabetically, but I'm not sure how you'd get items posted by importance). http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/weblog/view/wlg/1894 is an interesting overview of MT used for a news site. Note: MT is not technically free. If you use it in a commercial environment, you're supposed to pay $150.
