At the moment, we (my org) are experimenting with three CMS platforms. (Not WordPress.)

The problem with WordPress isn't the technical platform itself. The problem is that WordPress also hosts WP-branded sites that are often illegal from one direction or another: copyright violations, for example. I've seen an entire news website built over the years by a group of hard-working folks, some of whom are friends, only to have the content plagiarized and duplicated on WordPress. Contacts with WordPress were — well, there's no one to contact. Inevitably, as more cybercriminals appear looking for safe, unregulated haven, WP will have more and more of them, thus diluting and undermining anything with the WP brand. Google is at about the same place with its blogger.com mess.

I'll let you know of test results as they come in. We should have some results over this weekend.

The intent here was to start at internet4change with as blank a slate as possible - wordpress enables basic communication at this beginning stage, and I have deliberately started without configuring anything. Any collaboration system we build should be able to accomodate/integrate it (since so many people use it), but I don't know yet whether wordpress can/will be the basis for constructing a system. If you have a suggestion for a more appropriate blogging tool or platform to build on, please toss it into the thought mix constructively! Thanks for your comment Terry.

Let's collaborate. Caveats elsewhere, you know where. "Collaboration in our sector can be amazing. It can also be disappointing if it’s not designed and managed well." Agreed. WordPress is not only an insecure platform, it is entirely unregulated and unmanaged. Therefore, it is better to proceed elsewhere. I've seen entire websites replicated on WordPress, despite copyright laws, replete with identity hijackings and sock puppetry. Your idea is good, but this platform is a bad idea. Anything goes here, so nothing can be taken very seriously. Okay. Let’s collaborate. Caveats elsewhere, you know where.
