I'm impressed with Drupal.

The hard part of a content management system (for a nontechie like me) 
is getting started. Once you've downloaded it, how do you go about 
configuring it?

For the first site, http://www.rtpnet.org/civicrm/ , I used the 
CivicSpace download. The software was out of date, but it was easy to 
get started with a lot of stuff and learn to enable modules, check 
settings, check blocks, and then go to access control to define the 
permissions for each user role. And it was easy to try out different 
themes. I started some instructions in that site, 
http://www.rtpnet.org/civicrm/instructions/basics and 
http://www.rtpnet.org/civicrm/instructions/admins

I just started http://rtpnet.org/hallman/drupal . It has the Drupal 
download, and then (so far) the contributed modules front_page, organic 
groups (og), views, flexinode, and event. I'm particularly interested in 
organic groups and events. I'm about to download some civicrm stuff and 
see what that looks like. I've got a long way to go before this site 
will be useful.

Instructions are hard to find. I'm using Google a lot.
