[linux-audio-user] Anyone have any opinion on CMS?

[oktyabr]

Hiya,

I didn't want to post here until I actually had something to show off a 
bit but basically the story goes like this...
I had some webspace I wasn't using so I registered www.linux-studio.org 
(nothing meaningful there at the moment) with the idea of setting up 
a...  (save the rotten vegetables for a minute!)...

...  forum.  Specifically I want to put up a sort of blog on the front 
page with easy access to forums from there. Since combining a blog 
software with a forum can be tricky to get up as well as admin I thought 
I would look at an integrated solution in the form of one or another CMS 
(Content Management System) that can provide both in a small, efficient 
package.

So if anyone out there has experience with CMS and can either recommend 
or recommend against any particular package that would be well suited 
for such a task I would be very happy to hear your opinions!  There are 
a ton of them out there and it is quite time consuming to try them all 
and compare.  I've been using the excellent resources at 
http://www.opensourcecms.com to try some of them out... it lets you try 
any one you like without installing it on your server first.  I'm 
currently leaning a bit towards Geeklog and Jupiter CMS and an IT guy I 
asked recommended e107 but lots more testing to do before I know which 
is the right one for sure.

Furthermore I know I'm not the only one on this list that has 
entertained the idea of a linux forum dealing with audio software.  If 
any of you read this and might be interested in putting in a hand to try 
and build such a monster please feel free to email me directly if you like.

Thanks for all the fish,

Jon Hoskins
