Quite coincidentally I came across something called 'blackboard' whilst
searching for a link to a CMS I had in mind for this thread.  You can
see it here:

http://products.blackboard.com/

Could be overkill, but it's aimed at learning systems - worth investigating 
perhaps.

Good luck,
Jez

Check out phpgroupware.org, one of the apps is called sitemgr. I think theres a port
for it. I don't know how up to date though.

 I'm just in the process of installing one called Pagetool 
 
 (http://www.pagetool.org/) which looks good. Based on PHP. I also 
 liked the looks of MkDoc (http://www.mkdoc.com/), but couldn't get 
 my server to resolve the domain name I tried to set up (a DNS 
 problem, not, apparently, a problem with MkDoc). MkDoc is based on 
 Perl, I think.
 
 Zope looked to me like overkill for my needs, and I don't really 
 want a blog site.
 


Roger,

thanks for the heads up here.  what is a blog site?

Zope can be as big or small as you need and is certainly in no way limited
to weblogs.

Incidentally, I wanted to emphasize that my problem (mentioned earlier) 
with MkDoc was due to my own lack of skills. I think if I'd had more time 
to play with my /etc/hosts file and my http.conf I could have had it 
working. I don't think there's any problem with MkDoc, and it looks really 
good. I liked their default templates, and they claim to strongly implement 
the W3C standards for accessibility.

zope.org is really a mess. a new site is being worked on.

 I got the impression that zope
 was primarily designed for weblogs and outside news feeds, and it seems to

zope is an application server, so you can do most anything you like.

 The intranet I'm trying to set up will have pretty static
 content, but I want to use a content management system to make it easier
 for the teachers to update their course outlines and homework assignments.

Zope +CMF +plone (plone.org) can help you here.

In the immortal words of admin [EMAIL PROTECTED]...
 other than zope - are there any good onlin content management tools
 out there that allow people to update webpages and cgi code easily?

You might want to try out phpwebthings
http://www.phpdbform.com

Modular, lots of features, themeable, and not too hard to work with.  
has just become version 1.0

Cheers

Tim
