Nope - as the website is not to be edited by "everyone" just like the wiki is, but editing the main website should be restricted to "trusted" people. > Or, do anyone know someone who uses it?

Editing by the public/everybody, then a wiki will do, editing by a restricted bunch → a "regular" cms will do. > I have read some articles about "personal clouds", i.e. CMS packages used as > clouds, and this was the only one that my hosting service has available from > their very short list of CMS/cloud packages that can be used for personal > use.

Or check out the wiki/front-end editing modules. (also the blog module allows creation of posts from the frontend - if that is what you mean "more suited for less tech savy"). > So I am asking if anyone here has any knowledge of the three packages listed > above, or at least Tiki Wiki [Twiki]?

What I learned when choosing a CMS: Don't trust words, try it for yourself. That's really the only real advice I can give you. Think about what is important for you. Need to change the visual appearance/the theme? then look what template framework is used. Wikis are hard to theme "nicely" - you'll almost always notice right from the beginning that you're looking at a wiki.... How many people will edit, do the people know html, etc. And for the website, a wiki was not taken into account (as wiki is a separate instance anyway, with different focus). ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
