I have "finished" the technology conversion of www.migman.com that I had been pursuing since 2007. Good foundations have been laid for the second decade of operation, and the cobwebs that accreted since 1998 have been well and truly swept away. Even though the majority of the Museum content still resides in static html, the organisation of that data has been 'normalised' and the indexing of it handed over to Joomla. You can filter all the indexes, or browse the latest articles, or if you are not sure just use the "Search: Search the indexes" function.
The process of finding a Content Management System took me far and wide, I looked at many and finally settled on Joomla. Funnily enough, Joomla was one of the first CMS systems I examined back in 2007, but at the time I was not convinced it would have longevity. Two years later it looks very solid, with a huge user base and a well supported open source codebase.
There will be even more functionality added over the next year, bringing the Flight Sim Museum into line with the latest trends in social networking. For now, it looks like a great day for flying!
