Thanks Warren, Cameron for the information My client's server is running on Win plateform. These CMS can be used on Win Server?
I have a long way to go to learn how to work with CMS. Right now, I am just trying to pick it up hoping that it is not hard ;) Just seems so complicating to me right now. Warren when is your research due? I'm not sure if I will be able to implement this successfully due to my lack of knowledge in CMS. But I will give you some feedbacks if it works.

See: plone.org, Zope.org, OzZope.org, & http://docs.communitye.net/ Many of the gurus of the Zope & Plone dev communities are active on the http://oscom.org list. Zope is said to have a steep learning curve but Plone can be an easy first step. While hosting a Zope-intranet is free, but Zope-Internet hosting is usually an extra coast and may involve changing ISPs. James Roberston suggests "Open source CMSs have matured to the point where they should be considered side-by-side with commercial alternitives", but there is a risk of over-investment in technical development. (Why? Because you can!) (See www.steptwo.com.au re: open source CMSs - February 2004). Case studies about Plone's use in rural Australia are beginning to be published, There's Kevin Tharp's forthcoming Ph.D, for example: http://infocom.cqu.edu.au/Staff/Kevin_Tharp/Research/ Otherwise, there's my notes on Community Portals & Demand Aggregation as presented to OzZope.org. http://www.ozzope.org/Members/warren_crosbie/minutes1oct03/ I'm a masters student at Monash University. I researching some social and training aspects of a Plone-community-portal (www.netc.coop) for towns in Australia. I'd be interested to hear how you go with your implementation.

I came across http://plone.org and was wondering if it will be a good program to use for updating of projects and for my personal portfolio. For clients with huge product gallery, a CMS will help them a lot but I have never implemented one. What are your recommendations and views on Plone? Will it have issues with W3C xhtml validations?
