I'm open to alternatives, but I would be surprised if multi-site was the 
right solution. We are not making school websites, and most of the 
content of our website is independent of any given school.

For a multi-site solution to work, the first thing I'd need is a really 
easy way to add sites which inherit all the modules and configuration 
from the main site. I don't know enough about multi-site to have an 
opinion on this.

Why do you say that I've boxed myself? I haven't even installed the OG 
module. I am investigating OG, that is all.

Can you name one?
