I guess i would also add, make sure you test them out and pick one that makes sense for you user group. I'm a big fan of PmWiki but the way it nests pages can be extremely confusing at first. On the plus side PM's WYSIWYG buttons work pretty well (if your not using Safari) so that seems to make up for it. People here were seriously amazed when

I thought i should introduce myself after I've been commenting on the forums a couple of times. This is Eric Ishii Eckhardt from Minneapolis. I'm employed by the Walker Art Center in their New Media Initiatives as a designer. There are 4 of us in this department.

I can second Scott's support of Dreamhost. They offer excellent service and a lot of built in things you might like. The most helpful to me was having PHP MyAdmin pre-installed.

We used Base Camp and we liked it, they have a lot of different pricing options , i don't know exactly what you need but it might cover you.

Steven, We actually hadn't used any of those tools yet although i appreciate your feed back on them. At the Walker we decided a early on that we liked the long term flexibility and reusability that an XSL implementation gave us. Also since we make a lot of short term projects (ie get it done fast) there were a lot of benefits to the XSL development

We have a couple of projects going on at the Walker Art Center that are audio based. We started off wanting to make audio tours freely available to all of our patrons and we were unhappy with most of our commercial options. We were also concerned that if we used podcasts we would either limit ourselves to patrons who had iPods and who planned ahead
