[glug-t] Re: build a cms

See if you can use the "new" pragyan cms. If you intend to modify or make a
new cms anyway, why not use the pragyan cms which we made from scratch this
year and have been working on for the last 3 months?
Adv :

   - We know everything about it
   - hence easily customizable
   - It has a tree structure allowing you to place anything anywhere.
   (copy, move subtree supported)
   - Its user/group/permission thing is working now and is more
   sophisticated than any other available cms. The reason being we are making
   this cms for NITT website too. Now imaging the levels of permissions
   required : Director, HOD, lectures... Everyone needs to control a subtree.
   And HOD needs to be able to add remove permissions from his dept. faculty
   and also should not be able to take away rights from director. - The cms
   takes care of all this.
   - Only article module is made. (hence lots for you to work on, if you
   are going to make a new one anyway)
   - For a demo go to http://pragyan.org. Take username password from me
   in person.

We are anyway thinking of putting it up on sourceforge.

The reason we chose to make a new cms was because there was no cms available
which fulfilled our requirements. And comparing with the amount of work
required to customize every module to the level we needed, it was much
easier to make a new cms.

Just consider it.
