<DIV id=yiv2022541600>Hey Floyd,<BR><BR>I was actually thinking that a content management system would be a great idea for the affiliate website.<BR><BR>In short this would be a system that would allow authorized people to make content postings without having to worry about formatting and stuff. This would allow us to develop a design once and then focus on content generation/delivery in a fashion not unlike wikipedia (though with much better access controls and without everybody seeing an "edit" link). <BR><BR>This would also help with the "one webmaster" problem and allow the many people in our affiliate who are great at creating content to more easily leverage their skills.<BR><BR>Examples of these systems include:<BR><A href="http://www.scribus.net/" rel=nofollow target=_blank>http://www.scribus.net/</A> (using drupal) and<BR><A href="http://berkeley.edu/" rel=nofollow target=_blank>http://berkeley.edu/</A> (running TikiWiki)<BR><BR>These are very
simple to install as they simply require put a few files on the server just like a regular web page, and could be maintained fairly easily.<BR><BR>I think it would make building/maintaining/updating the site a lot slicker and make it easier to integrate some of our other projects like posting our newsletter, meeting minutes and/or convention media.<BR><BR>If your interested I can use my old netbook to put together a demo of a couple of these packages for state convention so people can get a feel for what it would look like and how it might work.<BR><BR>Just a thought. <BR><BR>--<BR>Andrew Chapman<BR><BR></DIV><BR>-----Inline Attachment Follows-----<BR><BR>
