User Submitted Info for a Wiki-like Website

[owensdj]

Are there any pre-made systems that would allow a group of users to submit information to a website that would get automatically added and displayed in a list? I thought about a wiki, but that has a bit of a learning curve. I'd like for it to be very simple for the end user and allow them to have fields for the information and a simple way to upload pictures for the new entry.

I think we need more details on the type of information to be added, and what kind of list it is to be added to.

Adding pictures makes it somewhat more complicated. Not only do you have to guard against spam, now you also have to watch out for porn, plus people uploading pictures only to link to them from another site. (That last one can be solved by a server configuration.)

Ken_g6, thanks for the reply. It won't be open to the public. Only a small group of people will have access to add or change entries, so problems like spam won't be an issue. The information will be simple. Things like name, e-mail address, short biography, and an image. When the site visitor clicks on this entry they get a page with more info about the person. The users could do all of this as a wiki, but I was looking for something that would be easier for them.

I imagine many CMS systems could do this. Possibly some forum systems as well.

Since I know Drupal, I searched for that, and this looks like a good starting point.

Ken_g6 Drupal just might work. Thanks!
