[Web4lib] Wiki for library procedures

[Cary Gordon]

Easy is relative. Drupal lets you set up user classes called roles and
assign permissions for almost every activity by role. An administrator may
assign multiple roles to users. In practice, it is straightforward and very
powerful, but requires some planning.

Interesting. I've played some with Drupal- it doesn't seem from the back
end, that it would be that easy to add permissions, users, etc ... Is that
the case? 

When you say mediawiki requires less staff overhead, is this for the it
staff, or wiki users?

Thanks!
