[Steering Committee] Web Site Question

[Brian Sheldon]

The Joomla site looks good.

I need to read your other emails on this. I'm wondering about how easy it will be to update the content. I can't remember how the wiki works - I assume you have to login to update the wiki....

My vacation has been pretty good.

I got to tinkerin' and put together a partial recreation of what's on our Wiki:  http://joomla.okcjug.org/ .  I'm just using the default theme at the moment, but that's easily changed to one of many freely available themes, or we can make our own.  What do you think?  Stick with the wiki and find a place to host it where we can get to it (which Objectstream will pay for)?  Run with this?  Who cares? :P 

Well, I've been tinkering some more: http://joomla.okcjug.org/

Note the menu on the left:  Sponsors, Meeting Location, Feeds (especially Feeds, as that's pretty much what's driving this).  Note also the Google Calendar integration on the right, as well as the polls options.  Comments?  Critiques? 

There are other options as well, such Drupal and Wordpress, which, while a blog system, technically, can pretty easily be used as a CMS, albeit a fairly simple one.  If we would prefer a Java solution, we can continue to use Confluence, or, if we want a CMS, OpenCMS looks nice, and I *might* be able to get a us a free license to Figbird ( http://www.ninthavenue.com.au/products/figbird), though I really have no idea how Roget would feel.  We've only "talked" briefly on the JSF lists, but you never know. 

So...any feedback?  I'm getting awfully lonely out here. :)
