    I'm using WPMu to build a community newspaper's Web site. In addition to putting the newspaper's content online, we're going to be running two or three blogs, maybe more.

    Any advice in terms of the plugins we ought to be using.

    A Subscribe to Posts plugin would be nice. Sends email notices to visitor created mail list when blog updates. No administration needed. Users sign-up to subscribe/unsubscribe.

    I use Subscribe2 version 2.1.4 with WPMU version 1.2.4.

    Thanks for the advice. I'm also interested in advice as to which tagging system is best. Remember, this is something that going to have to be used by many members, some of whom aren't going to be savvy enough to manually wrap the tad code around words. I'm thinking Bunny's tagging system?

    Tagging is going to be rolled in soon-ish I beleive. At least based on what's happening in regular WP.
