My biggest objection is that I don't speech dutch.<br>
But I speak fluently php, html, javascript.<br>
No user management is IMHO a big missing feature<br>
Maybe tonight I will install Mambo...<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello,
I just heard via Jörn that the new webmasters also have problems with SPIP as
a backend.
Yesterday evening I really had it with that backend and decided to see if I
was able to recreate the site, with a different backend.
I managed to do that after a couple of hours. You can see the result at
www2.digikam.org (spot the 10 differences ;-).
let me start with some statistics:
# du -s -h *
103M www
30M www2 (the site is actually just one dynamic page, the rest are
screenies)
spip database: +- 213 tables
new database: 2 tables (articles && news)
I think that is pretty impressive. The new cms I put into place at www2 is
somewhat limited in comparisation with SPIP. Let me point out the
differences:
- www2 has no user management functions, you can not assign more or less
rights to certain users.
- www2 has no capabilities for a contest or a poll as we had for the
splashscreen contest
- the backend of www2 uses ordanary html. That means _no_ wysiwyg, no special
notation of urls (just a href's). Knowledge of html is now needed.
- there is no search function atm
- the backend is standard KovoKs-stuff, hence it is in dutch. If we choose to
use this, I shall translate it.
You can see an example of the backend in the screenshot which I included, as
you can see it is very basic.
We can now choose to switch to this system (i can do that in a matter of
minutes) or we can choose to continue with SPIP (which i don't think any of
us really want) or we can do something with mambo or drupal (which as an cms
will look a lot better then the version I have now put in place.
What do you all think, especially the new webmasters?
Tom
