Forum Moderators: open
I will maintain a school community website that allows:
1. students to submit and edit their OWN composition,
2. let others rate an article and comment on it.
3. Let each user to have their profile, and shown all compositions they've ever submitted.
I've tried several Wiki system, but it seems that neither mediawiki, twiki, nor pmwiki can allow some pages accessed only by users who submit it. It can only limit user access based on their group, and on a particular page. Drupal seems to do the same access control.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks a lot!
The whole idea of a wiki is to allow one person's input to be edited by others, so they're not likely to be of much help to you. With a blog, other people can comment on the blogger's articles, but they can't edit them.
By default, a blog would contain all of the articles written by one student. If you want each article to be a separate entity, not grouped by author, some settings might have to be tweaked, but I'd think it would still be possible - start a new blog with each added article, perhaps.

Thanks again!
But once my schoolmates submit new article, do you know how to automatically "feed" the latest content to the front page? Thanks!
It gives you an interface to admin and provide the logic that makes the site work

If you've found a couple of programs that seem workable except for that piece, check out their user sites/forums to see if there's a plug-in or mod for this: it's a common enough request that I'd think it'd be possible. When you're using an open-source program, the user community is going to be your support system, so you want to know how good it is, anyway, before you decide what to go with.
The only problem to me is that wordpress apparently organizes the content based on each blog, instead of making it as an individual article. Hope the tweaks won't be too difficult to manage.....
And thanks again for all information in this thread.
The only problem is that Wordpress automatically use "page title" in the URL (like mywebsite.com/page_title ), but most titles of my page is in unicode, and the url becomes something like www.mywebsite.com/%E9%A0%81%E5%8A%9F%E8/ .
no idea if google can read it.
