Hi Peter,
I haven't used it but I note that it stores all of it's content in text
files. This can be a huge limitation in the ability to ever search for
information or associate documents at a later date.
The other thing I notice is that it can only accommodate TWO languages.
You are likely to need many more than that.
I suggest you look at Plone (http://www.plone.org). It is a complete
content management system including it's own object database and a front
end webserver. It is completely cross platform (all major OS's
supported). It has a huge list of additional features. It is used by a
large number of major websites.
My 2 cents,
