I want a good CMS

I’m the webmaster for d8toastmasters.org. It is the website for District 8 Toastmasters (speaking club). I didn’t design the site, I’m currently just maintaining it. I want to put up a content management system so that the district officers (and members) can help publish content (or make posts that need to be approved). I’ve looked at php-nuke, post-nuke and mambo. I don’t really like any of them. Post nuke fit best, but I don’t like their article/category/content arrangement. It has to be super simple for the user (SUPER SIMPLE). I primarily need news articles, categories, calendar, static content, and it would be nice to have a custom module for management of the district structure. I really don’t want to write one (CMS) myself.

Like I said, PostNuke seems to fit pretty well…I just don’t think it is easy enough for my users. Well, it wasn’t the last time I looked at it. I tried to install it last night (via cpanel) and it wouldn’t startup (cannot create session).

Oh well, I’ll look into it some more. I guess I could write some custom district8 modules to make it simpler for what they want to do.
