Web Site Content Management

[Santoro]

I am going to be putting together a website for my mother and relatives to store documents regarding my family's geneology.  Basically she wants to be able to have people log in and place documents of any sort on the site. The might be photos, scans, pdfs, Word docs, anyhing could show up.

I am looking for a relatively easy to administer content management system.  I am technical but my skills are a bit stale.  I can use frontpage and dabble in HTML, but have almost no knowledge of CGI, ASP, PHP, etc.

My hosting service can give me a Windows or Linux server, I haven't ordered it yet.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a content management system?  I don't mind spending some time setting it up and learning at the outset, but I want it to be easy for people to upload documents without my intervention.   Freeware/Opensource is preferred.

Oh, and I had considered FTP, but I want a GUI of some sort.

Thanks

PHPWebSite is nice, or PHPNuke is also a nice package.
I've used both, but prefer PHPwebSite.

I'm a big fan of postnuke (a fork of phpnuke, that is arguably better)

although you might have to find a few modules to add the picturegallery etc/functinoality...

  It seems like you're talking about a couple different things here.  Are you talking about a content management system, like PHPNuke, PostNuke, OpenMambo, or TikiWiki that will allow you to organize your website into different areas, automatically build your navigation menus, manage your downloads, etc?

  Or are you looking for an easy webpage editor that will allow you to edit and/or upload your webpages easily, like EditSource, PHPSiteEdit, or WebTool?

  ...And then there's ones that have a little bit of both like Adriadne or AWF...

Wow, lots of choices.  I guess I need a CMS - So far I like TikiWiki.

Thanks!
