The only problem with plone is you first need Zope, which I've found to be one of the biggest headaches and has one of the steepest learning curves amoung the web software I've installed. Don't get me wrong, I love python. If you want a good python solution that doesn't require running another app server, I'd also recommend Django - it's not a CMS, rather a framework similar to Rails, but it'd help you a ton if you decide to roll your own, plus it plays well with Apache - something Rails didn't seem to do last time I looked. > One of Plone's strengths in my opinion (and yes I'm biased) is > the ease of enter content for "regular users". We're all probably biased in this X vs Y converstations. :) Plone is cool, about the only reason I can think of that anyone would want to touch Zope with a 10 foot pole. What you need here though is a hosting company that is already running it so you don't have to get involved with Zope administration/maintenance. Anyway, that's my $0.02, I'm sure others will say Zope rules, I'm not on that list though. :) Josh
