And one other thing, based on the requirements of some of our community 
writers; there needs to be some ability to add "locked" content.  For 
example, if I republish my article from Linux Magazine (due out in 2 weeks, 
yah!) it has to go up as "locked" content with a shared copyright.  I can't 
have people modifying it per my agreement with Linux Magazine.

Also, most mature Wiki systems allow user comments.   This is a non-issue.

Justin's and my problem with Plone was that is was intolerably slow on updates 
and administrative interfaces; some of the admin screens took over a minute 
just to load.   And this was with just him, me & Elein on it.

Also, the plone "look" says "Plone" not "PostgreSQL".   However, if it gets 
something up and running in a hurry, I can certainly live with that.

If we've got it performing better now, it's worth a 2nd look.
