Cool! Now that sounds like a great idea. I really like the idea about collaborative review writing ;). It certainly would make things efficient, maybe speedier and certainly interesting.

I'm reading that mambo/joomla integrates much more easily with the smf forum system.. so i'm going to try a mamo install next.

From my experience: Mambo is such a strange system. For me it was a real pain to work with it. Have you considered Typo3? I don't know how popular it is in America, but in Europe it is very popular. I have done a lot of Typo3 projects - the start is kinda hard, but the possibilities are infinite.

Carol Haynes:
Just had a look at Typo3 website - it certainly looks interesting and the companies that use it (DHL, 3M amongst others) is impressive (and so are their websites).

Mouser this may be the one you are looking for ... it has file version control, and full user rights management !!

Only drawback I can see is that if you want WYSiWYG editing you have to use Internet Explorer at the moment (text based editing in other browsers - but Java based editor is in the pipeline).

If anyone is site building and interested in what is available (for free) checkout the features page

Typo3 offers about 1000 extensions. The Extension System is really good and simple to use. There are alternative WYSIWYG editors (typo-slang: "RTE") - like htmlArea which is cross browser compatible. Take a look at the extension list: http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/list/ ;)

Another BIG advantage is the documentation. Typo3 is one of the best documented opensource projects I've ever seen - see it at: http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/Matrix/

I love this cms  :-*


btw - there are some videos to get started: http://typo3.org/documentation/videos/

just when i was starting to get used to wiki...
