full blown site CMS - would you use it?

I was thinking of coding a CMS for this web site. It would have everything organized such as game play systems (caps, and such), skills, items, artifact systems, monsters, dungeons etc etc....
Basically rather then having the information in the information forum, it would be better organized in a CMS format. I'd make an admin back end for managing it and probably hire a few temp people to do the data entry and pay in-game.
Just wondering how many of you would use this system once all the info is added and always kept up to date. I want to code it eventually, but also don't want to spend time if its not really needed. The in-game stuff takes priority, but a more informative website may help as well.

I'd be willing to use it, as well as help with any work that is needed....But first, what is a CMS?
Also, if my ignorance of what a CMS is makes me a bad candidate for helping....then I'm sorry.
But as some of you guys know, I don't know much about computer lingo.

I think this is an awesome idea! I would be more than willing to help do all the data entries, and I'm sure I could convince Damien(Also known as T., for those of you who have seen him around) to help also.

Great idea, however realistically . . . I feel that the bulk of our community is not new and would not use it.
Plus, most of the newcomers are brought in from fellow players that give them a run-through

Actually this would be a good idea as it would bring the players together as a community and would allow us to better select potential staff candidates.

Well, I'll volunteer to help. Main problem for me though is that I'm in the process of completely relocating and finding a new job and stuff. Time will be a comodoty for me for a while.
