Also a good solution: fire up VS2012/2013 and create a new application and, voila, bootstrap all built in. Nice and easy. The you can change out the css to get the look you want from a variety of different sources like Bootswatch[^]. Very easy to do.

That's a good idea too (using VS)! Bootswatch is also great with some flamboyant colors like the ones in http://bootswatch.com/amelia/[^]!

Does Wordpress and its plugins not fit the bill?
I use it for my sites, has plugins like event calendars, user friendly dashboard, etc.

When I need to get a website up and running quickly, I use Joomla[^] ...there are tons of plugins for it, free and paid, including calendars, e-commerce, social networking, photo gallery, etc etc...see here for available extensions: http://extensions.joomla.org/[^]
If you need custom content you can use a Content Construction Kit (CCK) plugin like K2 or Seblod; lets you make custom article types.
...and there are tons of templates out there, free and paid...one of the best paid template places I've found is Rocket Theme[^]
You need PHP and MySQL installed, which will also run fine under IIS, which is what I use for development, then usually deploy to a Linux box.
Your users can edit articles via the 'front end' right on the page or through the 'back end' which is where all the settings as well as content, plugins, modules, etc are managed.
There are users and roles and you can restrict content based on the user's role if you want.
Good luck!

Just go to a forum and do a code demand. That's what most people do.

It sounds sort of like what a CMS would do. DotNetNuke, Umbraco, and, arg, that other one that's Java based but looks really good, might fit the bill. Most of these are "plug and play" to add the aforementioned components. Gads, for that matter, WordPress might even be a possibility.

I loathe PHP, but my answer to questions like this, is always Wordpress. It's widely used, widely supported, and has plugins for just about anything you'd want.

I am in the process of building such a product that will allow a non-technical person to create and manage a website. A bit different from a CMS, simpler in design and use.
Do you have or could you make a quick list of basic requirements? Does it need to be like SharePoint and have user lists as well as file posting and sharing? What other prime requirements do you have/need? How will it be used?
You mentioned dashboard, calendar, and event scheduling as what I would call "module" needs. What other modules/module type functionality do you need in a basic product?
This would be good input for this product/project. I could also put you on the beta release when I have a beta ready. It will at least several months though.
Thanks!

Hi
I am a newbie on websites but I am looking for a Content Management System that will allow me to give each editor access to a single page, not to the whole site, so they can update their page without affecting anyone elses page (with me as being able to give final OK)
I see references to WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal and have tried to look at the documentation of each but cannot find any information on what I want to do.
Any advice on which system to use to accomplish my goal and how easy it is to do would be welcome.

One other CMS that might be worth consideration is Dot Net Nuke (DNN), the community edition (free) can be found here http://dotnetnuke.codeplex.com/[^].
The wikipedia entry[^] has some basic information and some links. The main site[^] under community and support has some good training material. If you use microsoft then this is worth considering uses SQL server and based on asp.net. There a free modules to cover most requirements, events, forum, document management. All the requirements l have seen in this thread can be met by DNN. There is an active developer community, and plenty of support sites, both free and paid.
Personally l have been using it for over 6 years, and have built sites for both community and commercial use. I have used both Wordpress and Joomula, however l still come back to DNN that is more personal preference l suspect .

Anyone else remember this power transistor? I happened to come across a bug (# 53055) in TFS at work and immediately thought of my old friend.

That was one of my favorite workhorse devices, ideal for use as a pass transistor in linear regulated power supplies! Motorola offered its complement in PNP, as well, the MJ2955, which made push-pull power amplifiers a snap to design! They just don't make 'em like the used to. Oh, wait... yes, they do![^]

When I saw the subject line I thought you were talking about a strain of bird flu.

Nobody had heard of bird flu in the 70s.
