[ucc] Events on the website

[Samuel Spencer]

Ok then, is there a reason we don't start using an FOSS CMS system for
administering the website, rather than the current solution.

If Joomla isn't popular I have no qualms dropping it. I'm just glad
that we're discussing this point rather than dismissing it outright.

Zanchey: Would you have another setup in mind, bearing in mind that
the list of python-powered CMS's is very short?
Is anyone willing to setup a plone demo so I can have a look see at it
in action?

Other CMS that we could use:
Moveable Type
Wordpress
Drupal <- Well supported, popular, good candidate?
