Open source intranet anyone...?

I think I may have just found the answers to my prayers. I'm tasked
with developing an intranet/extranet for our company and also with
bringing the development and maintainence of our company website in
house.

I have been looking at various products over the last few months and
in the main those that fit the bill have had fairly large cost
implications (we're not a huge company). I looked at open source
products too but they were in the main either too intensive for our
limited number of IT staff to install and maintain or they were simply
not up to the job.... until last night, when at some ungodly hour I
stumbled upon Metadot. I installed it on my laptop in under 2 minutes
and I'm just printing out the manual now... I'll let you know how I
get on.

Bloody internet!

Spent most of the last hour trying to access the mamboforge.net website to download Mambo CMS. Very frustrating… I really want to try it out!

Poker Mania

Is it me or has the UK gone stark raving poker mad? It seems like evey late night TV channel schedule isn't complete without it's very own casino website sponsered poker tournament variant. I can't help but be secretly pleased at the idea of pro gambling scheduling in what is rapidly becoming a nanny (or should that be police) state, but at the same time can't help wondering how long before some point scoring politician in search of a crusade decides it's time to ask questions in the house about the corruption of the poor british publich who are, let's face it, incapable of making their own decisions. It's not long ago that a similar situation arose when someone in government suggested that the UK should become the next vegas with large licensed casinos... boy did that cause a stir!
