Well said.. don't change now.. develop what is there and make it right for 2011. You all liked it for 2010, 9 weeks is no time at all. Having said that though, you should not be doing testing in production, you should have a test environment for that! Using any revision control system could simply allow a checkout of a release version into prod. Adding a CMS on top complicates that, although a database dump from test to prod and a checkout should generally cover it. Craig
