That worked....with one excepttion.

There is a file called brand.mdtext, in cms it show up as empty, with no
possibility to edit it, but SVN shows the content as:

home:       home
search:     search
name:       Apache OpenOffice
tagline:    The Free and Open Productivity Suite
logo:       AOO_logos/OOo_Website_v2_copy.png
domain:     www.openoffice.org
divid:      bannera
announce:   OpenOffice graduates from the Apache Incubator!
announceurl:
http://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/openoffice_graduates_from_the_apache
announcetip:    Read the announcement

---
is that a special case ??

I will edit the other parts and send the diff files, using the normal
CMS way, BIG thanks to ariel !
