Allright, odd question. Please bear with me.
I want to develop a all-in-one staff intranet for my company. Prior to this point, 10:00am on Friday the 13th (!!), I have been developing apps for our internal uses and linking to them on a static HTML page. It's becoming more and more clear that we could benefit from some sort of news and content system. Something like xoops.
What ideally I'd like to find is a piece of GPL'd PHP and MySQL based software that will allow me to have a news site, contact database for my sales staff to store their customer contacts in, staff intra-network messaging, and obviously a download section for our internal programs.
I, however, have been spending too much time as of late developing or working on software only to find it's not what will work for us. So I really can't spend another month working on something only to find it's limited. That's what I'm running into with my current development platform, using some third-party software along with IBM's WebSphere to deliver java servlets driven by out DB2 database on our big-ass IBM iSeries.
I would much, much rather do this all using GPL software that I can contribute back to, and is community supported.
Any ideas?
