I'll go ahead and start with the last thing i read, 'how much does a LCMS cost?'. In fact, that's what I asked in the comment area in this week's discussion post. I got my answer. In the reading, it points out the pros and cons of buying a membership to a separate LCMS publishing company versus coming up with one from scratch. This is what I deduced from the reading: SUPPORT STAFF. If a company or school could write one from scratch, then it would save on not maintaining unnecessary features offered in a LCMS companies' packages but it would have to provide its own full-time technical staff.
Reading on, Nichani mentions that standalone content creation tools like Adobe Dreamweaver can also be used to create content. If i were running a company or school, I would hire a team of programmers to come up with the LCMS, train a small staff for full-time tech support, and even content to train new employees, pay them and then hire a new tech support team that doesn't require such a high salary, and then provide them with on-the-job training in creating LCMS's. Just a thought.
