John: You can consider a project management system like these: http://www.phprojekt.com/ http://www.dotproject.net/ Another solution could be a content management system like any of the following: http://phpnuke.org/ (pretty popular one) http://www.drupal.org/ http://www.geeklog.net/ http://www.mamboserver.com/ (i like this one) http://siteframe.org/ http://www.xoops.org/ Note that I've never set up any of these myself, i've only seen them in use. If you are still not sure of what you are looking for, this article: http://www.steptwo.com.au/papers/kmc_evaluate/ might help you evaluate your options. Hope this helps.
