I had a couple of things for my monday morning....

1.A question.... The Midgard website mentions using the system on 
MacOSX...which parts of the system is being used is it the whole 
Apache/Midgard/MySQL system or just parts...in part I guess I am asking if 
there is a MySQL build for MacOSX I didn't know about....

2. The problem...I installed the Apache_midgard monster RPM and inspite of 
my efforts to mess it up got it running...it is doing something odd now 
though....the first time I go in I just get the directory for the http 
document root...but if I reload a few times it will finally come up...this 
wil also happen as I move about the admin site...click a link get an 
error...reload and get the page...one of the debug errors that is coming up 
often is "database not defined for my.computer.edu" Any ideas?? This is a 
test server running off of my laptop so it may be a little 
squirrely(sp?)...it only starts up ever fifth time too....

3.The Suggestion.....In my far too exhaustive search for content management 
services I have seen most of the big...and wicked expensive....systems and 
there are simple features out there that might be looked at for future 
versions of midgard...they maybe in there all ready but I haven't found 
them. Mediasurface was the application I liked just from an interface point 
of view (though its server/appserver/db requirements were absurd)...the 
writers and editors I work with liked the ability to write a story in a 
writer's interface and have a release button in the editor's interface so 
that there would be flow control and authority in a centralized place. Both 
parties also liked having version histories so that as the editor/writer 
exchange process went on ther would be a history of the revisions and 
versions...the first would be pretty easy though i can see where the 
revision history feature could tax a database if too many versions of a 
story clogged up the DB...maybe when a story is released for distribution 
the history would be discarded........

just a thought....
