I have to choose a content management system to allow dynamic updating of website content. The amount of configuration required and the learning curve with most of these systems really seems to be a lot more than what should be necessary.
I have almost set the site up with Alfresco SURF - but I just find that it makes simple things harder than they ought to be.
I have heard of Drupal, Joomla and Plone - but what I am hoping for is something that is very simple to set up and use. I have heard these are not.
We just need to be able to change things like dates of upcoming events etc. navigation template changes don't need to be supported (but if it's they are and the software is still easy to use then it's a plus).
Can you recommend only very simple to use apps, or explain if there is some reason what I am asking for cannot exist.
