Hi Scott,

Another option is to create a script that will create a snapshot of what is on Plone, in the format you want/need. Of course, this would be some pretty heavy Perl,PHP,Python, script poison of choice, but it would probably be the best middle of the road solution.
That way CVS could still be used, as well as the script on a set timer. cvs commit would pick up any changes to the file once the script is run, and may be automated at some point as well.
Thank you for pondering about ways to find a middle road. :) That's helpful.

:-) Keep in mind Dianne, the only time I actually knew anyone was using the FAQ was when I accidentially messed up the access to it for about a day. Talk about emails. ;-)
That's funny that you mention this. I've realized that this human factor is indeed part of my struggles. It is such a quiet zone that you start wondering about the value of the work... Is it redundant? Do folks need it? Should I be working on other things? I can see these thoughts need to be filtered out for maximum productivity. :) They are not helpful. :)
The faq is definately used. If you want we can start work on a perl script or something to extract the html for each faq item. Interesting idea, I'll play around with it a little tonight.
This sounds way cool.... All the suggested poison is new to me, so I am very open-minded and eager to see what develops. :) If I can help somehow, I will try.
Have you played with the download tab at the OOoAuthors site? I'm writing about it so that you know it is there. (Sorry if you already know.) You can download a zipped HTML file of any directory in the FAQ section, which is generated by a script that CPH wrote. (I don't think Con has released the script, but I may be wrong.) I've played with the output file a little bit, by downloading the top directory, but not enough to say too much more about it. Prior to this I had chosen not to spend much time with it, but I repeatedly download it in hopes to make time to play with it more.
I wonder if we could do something similar, but end up with the individual faq templates and index pages for each directory, as what exists in the present doc.oo.o faq set. Maybe we could add a directory at a time, or something. Smaller seems easier from a maintenance stand point. Anyway, I know nothing about scripts and am eager to see what you develop... so I should shut up! :) It will be fun to see the your ideas and scripting results.
Thank you!
:)
Diane
