Thanks Max for suggesting this.
Have you heard of Typo3? What do you think?
The use of a CMS is an excellent suggestion however I only have 2 weeks
or less to have this working and I don't think that would give me enough
time to learn and install and demonstrate to my client. Or maybe it
would - what do you think? I prefer to use a PHP system, however, I
don't have php experience but maybe I don't need php experience to set
up a CMS. Do you think it is possible for me to learn and set up those
components (wiki, forum and poll system) of Typo3 in about 8 working
days? I have a strong background in html and CSS (and some flash) and am
confident in learning anything new.
Or should I just stick to installing these components separately:
mediawiki
advanced poll (http://www.proxy2.de/poll/index.php)
phpBB
Thanks Max,
Mike
PS Thanks for the links!
