Well, in terms of Maple Leaf Web, we have a very small team of
writers/editors.  Including the following

Admin (myself)
Senior Editor (4)
Managing Editor (1)
Content Manager (2)
Writers (4)

The Senior editors, and writers won't even need access to the CMS, only
myself, the managing editor and the content manager need to be able to
add/edit content.  So I think this definitely falls into the small
team/group class.

Essentially, all I need the CMS to do is manage the features we produce.
The Weblog, Forum, sections will all be controlled by third party software.
Weblog will use Wordpress, the forum will be PunBB.

I agree, and this is why I initally looked at using Wordpress.  Wordpress is
almost what I need, as it doesn't complicate the process with a bunch of
features almost no one uses.
