Just to add my bit: I am considering to use Sphinx for setting up a  
web-page that is not documenting a software project or code, but  
rather represents some more generic kind of webpage (for example for a  
research group). I have played with rest2www before (and use this for 
http://www.soton.ac.uk/~fangohr 
  for example), and am currently trying to understand what I can and  
can't do with sphinx for these kind of applications. (All I need are  
static webpages, so I didn't go down the Django route yet). If people  
can recommend any other tools that are similar to rest2www and 'sphinx  
for generic webpages', I'd be interested about that.


Cheers,

Hans

There is also TortoiseHg (http://tortoisehg.sourceforge.net/).

While I am not contributing to sphinx, I'd like to support the vote  
for Mercurial. I have used over the years cvs and svn, then bzr and  
hg, and found hg most convincing (snappier than bzr, easy for simple  
things, yet fairly powerful if required).

Hans
