So? Like write access is any big deal. Raster wants it given out like candy. > Ben is quite fond of Ruby and Rails.

I was providing advantages of CVS, not disadvantages of Ruby or whatever else it is you're trying to rebut. > Ruby can serve static pages, for that matter, what web server can't?

Ah, finally something relevant to my comments. Tools for CVS allow for editing of content in CVS and committing said content to CVS. So yes, in that sense, for building a website. > This is silly. Content revision control is quite easy to do. You'd think that...but you'd be wrong. Even with tools like Trac, which supposedly "integrate" with SVN, content versioning is always linear. No branching. No tagging. No annotation. > It's silly to get CVS access to do web updates.

No, wait, Perl is 19 years old, so it must be more stable than either PHP or Ruby. So we should use that! No, wait, what about C... One of two things needs to happen: Choice 1, we bring back the CVS stuff and edit content that way. Choice 2, we have some type of online CMS with wiki-like capabilities so that anyone can contribute (with certain "editors" having veto authority). In the case of choice 2, it makes very little difference what the system is under the hood as long as it's easy to use and to contribute to. Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
