Re: Wiki update and plans

We do have an immediate need, so Typo3 doesn't sound like it's the right 
tool for right now.  But I'm sure that our tools will evolve and change 
over time as our need for and understanding of the available tools 
changes.  Right now we've got our hands full in trying to get basic 
tools up and running, so I suspect we won't spend too much time right 
now investigating future replacements.  But this information about Type3 
could be very useful for future decisions; feel free to remind us of 
this when we next review our collaborative tools.
