I should clarify what 100% means. that means that it was entirely our students that built the site. as far as using a CMS yes I still consider this to be 100% ours. first its a open source site and we are acknowledging credit( while we did modify the template, heavily. we still give credit where credit is owed). even if we did it in PHP and SQl, unless you can claim to have built the SQL engine, you cant call it yours ,by that logic.

As far as just a CMS we have a lot of custom PHP running in the background linking our document management system with the user management system with the joomla front end. that way a student on the programing team who is an officer and also on the chairmans presentation team has access to documents and different news from other users.

and as far as content before 2006 . . well we call that the before time. while pictures and documents do exist, their digital copies have long since been lost.

also thanks for the input Im passing along all the tips and tricks to the students.
