Sorry for not being more precise as to what I want to accomplish. I am learning what's possible as I am going along here. >(commenting? versioning? collaborative editing? > conversion to html?) For now, just a way for everybody to see the pages. >or what your system actually looks like. It's a whole mess of graphs - hundreds and thousands of them. In raw form, it's just a whole bunch of eps files. Currently I am embedding them into a bunch of doc files and use spreadsheet to hyperlink into them. From each doc file, they can zoom in on individual graphs. Sort of like a mini-static web server on CD. > One > solution, for example, that hasn't been mentioned is webdav.

There are so many new things happening *everyday* that it's hard to even know what's possible.

I work for a very very conservative industry. They move extremely slow. I am simply investigating what solution is possible but what ever I come up with has to be something our industry will consider. As I said, not too long ago, most of them would operate by simply printing all these out and mail the paper-weights around. They got "modernized" when they send the graphs as email attachments (!) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
