Re: The OFSET web site, the next move

Hello,

I discovered and used recently "Mambo Open Source" CMS (it's GPL).
I think it can do  most of your your requirements.
The communuity is growing very quickly, it's very  "design" (it doesn't=20
have this "square" feeling of CMS) and is very quick to handle.
There is a  Multilingual  module you can add too.
There's a good article in Linux Magazine of  Febuary :  =20
http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/39/Mambo_Open_Source_45.pdf   (look=20
at the  quoted websites,  the Mambo web site is actually not brilliant ..=
.)

I also heard good things of Typo3 ( http://typo3.com/ ) , a kind of=20
super multipal weapons CMS, but they say you need a month to master the=20
beast ...

Bye
