CMS Recommendations for Static Site Migration?
a-singularity asks: "I'm a Ph.D. student (and GSoCer) who also works for a campus extension organization to extend and maintain their website. They inherited the site from another organization at another institution. Currently the site is updated by editing very ugly, table-clogged HTML when someone requests it. The site maintains no separation of concerns, and has several poorly designed PHP scripts for database access. There are many CMS solutions out there, and while I've used a few (Drupal, MovableType), I'm not familiar with many other options. What is the best CMS out there for simple management of a medium-sized site with regular updates? What about ease of use, so all of those who might need to can submit updates?"
... just use the CMS Matrix!
You're bound to find something that will fit your needs.
The "nuke" family of CMS applications not only all look and feel more or less the same, they have a very bad rep for crappy code and a high number of security issues.
Drupal, Plone, Mambo. All EASY to set up and admin.
Though GeekLog seems to be a Nuke clone, I have heard good things about it.
