staff-maintained indexes and databases

[Inge Kokidko]

Our staff index a lot of local genealogy information (obituaries,
marriages/divorces, etc) and we make that information available online as
searchable databases (really they are just tables). In the past we have
been using Greenstone, but would like to explore other options. We are
considering Drupal, but the Data module is currently missing a processor.
With the limited time we have to learn/maintain this data I'm hoping for a
more complete or streamlined solution. Some of the indexes are "finished",
and others we update continuously as additional obituaries etc. are
published.

What solutions are you using? Obviously cost is a factor, which is one
reason we considered Greenstone, but would be willing to pay if it were a
reasonable price. Is anyone using their ILS for this? Any other ideas of
ways to do this? The data is simple, as I said they are all just basic
tables.
