    Hi,

    What CMS would you recommend best for online dictionary?

    I want users/viewer to have an option where they could add new word/term and i could easily moderate it, i could accept and delete. I also has an option to add a new word/term.

    Thanks!

    I'm not sure a CMS really fits such an application. A CMS is really designed for constantly changing content whereas a dictionary is a database of words to be accessed purely for reference. It seems to me it may be wise to consider a custom solution for such an application - especially since a Dictionary is such a simple interface. The front end is so simple, a CMS may be overkill for a Dictionary app.

    Thanks for the quick reply! but i want users to have an option where they could add new term or word and i could accept, edit or delete their term.

    I want users to have an option where they could add new term b/c i am not sure if my database of terms are complete.

    Thanks! :)

    Use Drupal with CCK and views. You can use CCK to create your dictionary content type, and the rest - submission of terms and such - is very easy with Drupal.

    As I am interested in a dictionary/encyclopedia cms option, I would also like to know if you have a database of exisiting terms in mysql or csv database, which cms would be easy to import and organize the databases? Is mediawiki a good option as well?
