WEB PEOPLE: Trying to decide on CMS software for State Party site...

For Website.

State Level Party website that I'm working on.

The biggest feature requests are a Calendar and a membership-database admin from a chapter to county to regional to state level, but I'm expecting to have to manually develop that.

I have PHP/ColdFusion/Perl/ASP on IIS 4/NT 4

(so sue me, I have the same setup as where I work for my day job :-P )

I'd rather go PHP.
I have MySQL.

I'm leaning towards phpWebsite for the general site:
http://phpwebsite.appstate.edu/index.php

But I've been impressed by many in the lineup at:
http://www.opensourcecms.com/index.php

Is there one with the same general feature set as phpWebsite that could handle progressive security levels of member editing with customizable member fields?

Thanks!

www.drupal.org

Maybe not...

I'm trying to find user administration on staggered levels:

admin - god access
state exec - near god access
state sec - administrate state users, might be near god
region exec - regional section admin, regional users admin
region sec - near region exec
county exec - county section admin, county users admin
county sec - near county exec

2. php and mysql are great together...

I would get rid of IIS though, in lieu of apache. You'll be happy you did. ;-)

3. I would but

I use it so I keep my mind in one spot...

I do have another hosting account on *nix/Apache/PHP but it's not a whole server unto itself (shared account)...

I do love text file configuration though so much easier.

Oh well... I live in a windows corporation and I don't make the tech decisions!
