PHP-Nuke

Plone

Plone is an open source content management system (CMS) that can be used by a cybercafe to create a website. It's a good deal more robust and "philosophically pure" than PHP-Nuke, at the expense of having a steeper learning curve if you want to program extensions, such as Fun-o-Matic integration. This website is built using Plone.
