John, 

I have thought about iWeb but we think it would not be able to do some of the things which we want to do.

It doesn't work well to have it set up where we need someone with a lot of skills and have to depend on them for maintaining the web site. A CMS seems to be the best idea around. I am looking at several now.

I like it because so easy to make changes and export the pages up to the server. They used to have a limited trial version to try it out, not sure if they still do. use rapidweaver 4 but they are now up to rapidweaver 5.

What don't we have that should be there, what can we get rid of now, how should it look in the future. The officers will decide what is to be done so give us your thoughts.

Any input on this score would also be welcome. Even if it ends up that some of the ideas are not used we need them to help our thinking.
