you could always use the google "search site" feature...

yep... started that right after I posted this. figured I would not have that much response here...

found two cool pages listing all kindsa script. looking for a content management system after all.

http://www.hotscripts.com -> loadsa scripts for loadsa languages
http://www.asparea.com

up to now found two engines which seem to be quite powerful:

http://tikiwiki.sourceforge.net/

both php based and free. no need for expensive server soft either...
