I’ve been looking for something for Brooke to use for a while now to bang out websites. I tried rolling my own, tried a wiki, tried setting up a blog (not in that order) but nothing worked. Concrete5 looks like “the bomb” as my old friend Bob used to say. I used their demo (until it reset) and it looked like it could do what I think Brooke wants to do with a site (format, arrange, write content, get automatic listings/directories, etc). The FAQ says it has community tools too. Finally, I did a control-u and saw jquery, etc etc, so I’m downloading it and going to fire it up. I just emerged drupal yesterday, but I got all bogged down in plugins and add ons and so on. If I can’t set it up fast, it isn’t going to get done.
We’ll see how C5 works out.
