easy way to post meeting minutes

[Mike Brearley]

We, as the webmasters of a non-for-profit organization have recently been
requested to post meeting minutes on our webpage. I'm wondering what's the
easiest (as far as accessability to the people viewing/searching/printing)
way to do this is.

I'd assume a database that stores the text of the meeting minutes as well as
other things like a summary, date, etc...

Is there anything out there I go use to start off with? Obviously we're not
going to be looking for something that costs money, so freeware or just
friendly people freely sharing their code would be great!

We're not looking at password protecting it to view the minutes, but I would
think that a password protected area to upload the latest minutes would be
great. Searching is a major factor, we need end users to be able to search
through the years and years of minutes easily.

Thanks!!!

How about just posting the minutes in a PDF file and having a page that
lists all of the available meetings?


Something like:

We're really looking for something that is searchable and completely
viewable on the webpage, no downloading required.

Have a look at Windows SharePoint Services, a free add-on for Windows Server
2003/IIS6. It will do that plus a whole lot more ...
