Build Up To Something

I learned from my friend that e107 is a promising open-source contents management system (CMS). It received very favorable comments as well as ever increasing supports from the community in recent few years. I once was a fan of PostNuke and then Mambo. He commented that the project activity of PostNuke has reached a very low level. For Mambo and Joomla, their communities are too commercialized. Xaraya and Typo3 are too complicated, while PhpNuke is not secure enough.

I am interested in finding a CMS that is simple and good enough to build a basic school website. One of my requirement is that it should use PHP and MySQL. The features I am looking for include simple mechanism to add and organize contents, good layout and usability for visitors, and support for Chinese language. From my initial and brief checking, it seems that e107 is a good candidate for me to take a closer look of it.
