Frank,
the tech people used for our site postnuke: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/post-nuke/
see our site at: www.ctie.missouri.edu 

It is fairly simple to set up, works with PhP and MySql, can manage content 
quite easily, and has a variety of user rights .... However, to do exactly what 
we wanted it still needed coding and a fair amount of twicking. If you invest 
that time then it is fairly simple in the end. There are many add-on features 
like different discussionboards or calendar ... that can be very easily 
installed as modules and downloaded from user-sites.

There is quite an amount of post-nuke style cms-systems out there as you can 
see at this list: http://www.opensourcecms.com/ This meta-site also uses post-
nuke. We compared quite a bit and were running movable type etc. but found post-
nuke the most suitable for our need (a lot of pages needed to be changed by a 
variety of people).

Well, another solution could be tinderbox by Eastgate (commercial):
http://www.eastgate.com/Tinderbox/

If you have a Mac, tinderbox is a personal content management system with web-
publishing capability and features to integrate your existing blogging 
systems .... 

Let me or the list know, what you decided on and your experience with it.

Johannes
