[cma-l] hosted content management solution for website...

[Steve Cowie]

Hi Leslie
As you've already rejected Drupal, this is probably irrelevant but we've 
done a lot of work using Drupal to develop websites for a company that 
specialises in audio journalism and podcasting aimed at the private 
sector. While I completely agree with your point about Drupal being 
quite techie, I'm sold on its capacity to scale and integrate new 
functionality as required. Artimedia comes at this from a background of 
building our own cms so we took a fairly sceptical approach at first but 
I've become increasingly impressed with how possible it is to mould 
Drupal to meet varying requirements - if you want a look at what's 
possible on a working Drupal site, I could probably arrange to give you 
a tour.
