Walubengo,

Notice how I avoided, for example, Drupal(TM), Joomla(TM), Typo3(TM),
etc.. for CMS
OR Knowledge Tree(TM), Alfresco(TM), OpenKM (TM) etc for DMS

Or even the source.... for example, http://sourceforge.net/ etc..

You cannot say the same of, say, "Installed with Microsoft Windows XP,
Office 2007 with Kaspersky(TM) or Norton(TM)"  on so many public
tenders...

I assure you that I am grounded firmly, let's not over-engage on it.

Arrange a workshop/seminar at MMU and compensate me as resource person
and I will share some more., sawa?
