Meh, I'm not worried (well, not too much) about that, it's an intranet not a website. Anything'd be better than the rubbish we've got now, believe me.

What ones have you rejected?
So far, in alphabetical order, I've looked at and rejected:
  • Clearspace - not open-source and wrong technology for us.
  • Confluence - again, wrong (for us) technology, and costs money (although I'm wavering on this at the moment)
  • DaisyCMS - Java and looks horrible
  • Drupal - rubbish editing and also looks horrible
  • Google Sites - hosted solution only
  • Knowledge Tree - too expensive ($15 / user / month)
  • Plone - Python & learning curve
  • Sharepoint - overkill

I'll probably also reject Mediawiki, it's just not worth the hassle of installing and maintaining the 10-20 extensions we'd need, just to get it to look sort-of like a CMS...

So far I like EZ Publish and Joomla, with Mediawiki and Confluence being barely-possibles-if-we-really-have no alternative.

I'll have a look at the two you mentioned also, thanks.
