[PLUG] non-tech web-based content management system?

[Jeff Dean <jdean@ieee.org>]

I'm looking for a web content management system for a K-8 school.  I'm a 
bit overwhelmed by the number of projects that come up on sourceforge and 
freshmeat, so I thought I'd ask.

Here are the basic needs:

- Apache/Linux based
- $0, Open Source
- Non-technical web management - no sysadmin for day-to-day operations
- No user-generated HTML required
- No user coding required (.pl, .py, etc.)
- Serves school Internet site
- Serves Intranet within the school for faculty and students
- Web-based approval process migrates certain Intranet items to Internet

Wish list:

- LDAP authentication
- Automatic indexing
- Automatic linking of new items (i.e., "Save it on your W: drive and it 
will be on the Intranet...")

The web-based approval is the biggest - I'd like the Intranet stuff to feed 
certain spots for the public web site.  Things like classroom projects, 
trip reports, class announcements, etc.  I'd like the class-specific areas 
on the public site to be a subset of the same areas inside, and the 
approval/migration should be a simple web-based approval process.

Any ideas?
