I'd recommend looking into Plone. It's very easy to setup (a couple of minutes for something like the default layout), and yet is powerfull.

Illwinter doesnt host their own site. I have been talking to them about it and offering some share-space but so far they are hosted. I dont think the options for Plone and the Zope it runs on would be open. (thanks for the pointer though, I do have Zope running)

If illwinter wants to code their site by owns, (I think that they are using Linux) I recommed that they should use Quanta as HTML editor.

EASY, fast and best of all,
IT'S AVAILABLE FOR LINUX!

http://quanta.sourceforge.net/

BTW, I love Linux and Open source.

Plone is much easier to work with than the underlying Zope, basically only making you deal with Zope on the rare occasion you want to change a site's look/feel.

Too bad if their host won't allow it. It's gives a nicer site and is easier to manage than something html based.

Caveat. Plone is easiest to setup on Windows, where you basically just install it and turn it on. I'm trying to apt-get it on Debian right now, and am having to wrestle with configuration.

You sure manage to put up good looking web pages in notime. Maybe we should take a look at Quanta and see if it is magic or something.

After looking around a little I see that it is actually already installed in my Mandrake Linux. I have never tried it though.

Heehee. I get that too on my Debian Linux box. After hearing about something cool, or stumbling across it while reseaching something I want to do. After checking I find out that its already loaded on the box.

Hmmm maybe I didnt notice before but I cringed when I saw that Illwinter's link to the newsgroup is a google. I know Im OLD internet (pre-WWW, even pre PC) but I'd rather see it as a news or nntp link then have a non-clickable pointer to google-Groups for if that doesnt work.

Just a pet peeve. Sorry

news://comp.sys.ibm.pc.strategic.games
nntp://news://comp.sys.ibm.pc.strategic.games

-- It used to be "cant see the forest for the trees",
the new Version could be "cant see the Internet for the WWW"
