But what i cant understand is why you guys thing that managing a CMS based site will be difficult ? Most active community websites i have seen use drupal or some other non-wiki solution and it help in presenting the stuff properly. Let me take an example of www.ubuntu.com, what you guys think of ubuntu.com ? is it flashy? is it difficult to navigate ? And please go and ask ubuntu.com admins how difficult it is to manage the site ? Btw ubuntu.com runs on drupal !! I want to bring to focus the misnomer that CMS based sites are complex or difficult to manage. A badly configured wiki is equally difficult to manage. May be you guys have used mis-configured CMS sites till now and have ormed a wrong impression about CMS based sites. My experience is a CMS based site is far easier to maintain in longer run than a wiki based site, unless you have lot of admins available who are watching wiki regularly. Biggest advantage of using CMS is that a CMS provides you more control over media than a wiki. Manging files,images, audio, video etc. is far more easier on a CMS than it is on a wiki. That is why I prefer a CMS for community driven websites. Wiki is useful when content has more text than media, example wikipedia. regards VK -- The hidden harmony is better than the obvious!! -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
