The University of Melbourne has a group working on adapting the DC to our
specific needs. A pilot is about to be conducted to assess the amount of
time necessary to update the significant number of pages currently in
existance.
I believe one of the advantages is making site searches more
customisable. If you are talking about a "business site" with less than 20
pages, then there probably isn't much point.
I also like the "contributor" field. I often have material from more than
one "author".
