R: cms-list digest, Vol 1 #598 - 3 msgs

Ben, I think Darrel is right, u need a budget.
Watch this site: www.steptwo.com.au it's fantastic and helpful, in my
opinion.
Specifically, look for white papers about how to make a tender and how to
evaluate a CMS solution.
Let me know what do you think about it.
Simone.
