[Web4lib] FW: Request for info

[Bobb Menk]

I've been very happily using MovableType on an internal web server with 
no trouble for over a year. We're using it as a kind of "Content Manager 
Lite" to produce subject-oriented research guides as well as internal 
newsletters. Works like a charm. Lately I've been exploring ways to make 
it act a bit more like an aggregator (like Bloglines), for internally 
produced blogs and RSS feeds, but only have the rudiments of that in 
place so far.
