[ubuntu-za] Program to use for website

[Willem Jordaan]

Hallo all

Thanks for the responce.

I have been playing around with crms for quite some time now and the CRM 
that looks the best are Xoops and e107... with Xoops having more themes 
and e107 being more customizable... then the sitename .... what about 
openlearning.za.net.

Then i have two places that i use for domain registration and hosting 
the one is godaddy.com and the other is a local guy www.serv.co.za. If 
you guys have any other places who give good hosting let me know

> Do you know of an existing program that will do what is required.

> >From a previous post of mine : 
> Set up a site for putting on and finding training/linux/opensource places.
>
> The putting on part : companies who have found the site, can put themselves on the database, and they have editing rights to only that part of the site. On the site you tell the companies that it is their job to keep their information up to date. It will be something like wikipedia, but not everybody can edit the company's info.
>
> The finding part : when I am on the site, I can search, via a category, city, Provence or what ever to find a company that offers what I require, be it training, web services, etc.
