I have the Merlot source code on my desktop. Mwa-ha-ha...

Actually, I might not use it, since *I think* we got it to solve the wrong kind of problem. I'd actually appreciate your input.

Our system office wants to coordinate the electronic content that people are creating around our system. They have CDs, materials sent via e-mail and stuff on websites around the system. There is a grand plan (and funding) for an IBM contentserver two years from now, but until then they need something that works, so they figured the Merlot code, since we're a partner.

However, I'm more inclined to say a weblog with categories. I may be inclined to see nails because of this hammer in my hand, but wouldn't MT work here? or CAREO?

This is what they have right now - manually updated - http://www.vccs.edu/vccsit/ITDE_LOCUS.htm

Any ideas?

David

p.s. they're not really interested in reviews, etc. They just want to get organized. It may be that user submission would be important, but not necessarily, as long as administrators weren't overburdened.
