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.
