Maybe you can try our software. Metadot is a content management server side application written in mod_perl. All content management in it is done from client browsers. It can also be seen as an application framework providing User, Session and sophisticated Access Control management, all of these accessible from client browsers. (The site administrator, though, gets complete power to limit users access/modification rights to content, and can even set disk space quotas for them.) Metadot comes with an API that makes it easy to create specialized applications on top of it, as well as with a wealth of bundled apps for adding content such as uploaded files, text, images, content categories, discussion and polls. We are open source under the GPL, and we're backed by a big oil-services company. We've just released Version 4.0b. Among its new features are: -Support for windows (IIS and Activestate PerlEx) -A simple templating system to alter page layout/design -A facility to do recursive access permissions changing from the browser -A feature that turns discussions into mailing lists -Improved documentation -A developers support site at http://www.metadot.net I work for them, but a couple of years ago I would have wished to have the functionality we now provide for what my previous job required. :-) Claudio -- Claudio Garcia [EMAIL PROTECTED]
