I use Drupal

An alternative activity suggested on the program site was looking into Drupal, a content management system (CMS). I'm already using this for an intranet site at the school I work at. There are numerous free open-source CMS systems out there, but I had seen an article about Drupal in The Age's 'Next' technology section.

It's important to realise that this is not a social networking service for users to join, but a software application that a web developer can download and install on their own web site, customising it for their own requirements. So far it is working well for us, allowing us to easily update information without having to build new pages.
