So I took some time to answer the Gnome's requirements point-by-point. http://gnome.rclaporte.com/TikiGnomeEval http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/CmsRequirements/TikiEval While I understand that you want this done as soon as possible, I would appreciate if you wait for the skin to be integrated before judging "from looking at it". In the middle of August, I asked here on this list for a mockup. I was told, in essence, to put a basic mockup until the real one is ready. For many many reasons too long to explain here, I think Tiki CMS/Groupware would be an excellent solution for your needs. And I think it would be excellent for Tiki as well, as is for example the KDE wiki: http://wiki.kde.org/ When available, I will integrate the look & feel into a Tiki template and will show whoever's interested how it's done. Tiki is very easy to theme but I'd rather demonstrate with actions and code than with my words :-) In the end, maybe another CMS will be chosen because of reason X, Y or Z (And I know it's not just features, it is also community, documentation, etc) and I will learn from this as an opportunity to improve.
