But, hey, i'm interested in your FAQ. Thank you for volunteering! What a CMS is? "Content Management System", a portal frame etc. PostNuke is based on PHPNuke, written in PHP (what I can use on "my" server). > - i don't want to enter those many FAQs via the web-interface I would take SQL or something other, too. > - IMO a FAQ should support different topics/sections (maybe also sub... ) You are right, and that's the reason why I will change the actual structure. But at a first glance I found that such a CMS (or at least PostNuke) is not what we need here: -- I look for one CMS for all of my different pages, therefore it must be multilingual: most is only interesting in german, but this FAQ will stay english etc. (PN *is* multilingual, but not in the needed way) -- It must be possible to mirror the whole system in an easy way between the public web server and my local (dial-up) LAN. (Unsure if the several database tables of PN will survive dumping, copying etc.) -- Not only you but me too should be able to prepare entries offline (that's one reason for mirroring); CMS seem to be shrinked to the web interface. -- We need a simple user management. The CMS would provide that; what I do at the moment is too complicated for more than a few users -- I use "htaccess" files, that is, users must be added in a users and a group file for access and additionally in the database for information like homepage that the user himself may change. I don't know how to write a secure user accounting myself. > - the KEYWORD field should be replaced by a drop-down menu, > since the user cannot know what key-words are available No, I don't think so. Some structure should/will be given fixed, but authors should enter keywords themselves -- keywords are searched and should be found with an other than the visible question. Structure/hierarchy is needed for an complete ConTeXt/PDF output, that shouldn't be totally chaotic...
