Yep, that be it.

MySQL doesn't offer it directly. The CVS approach is interesting. I'd like
to know a little more about how it performs -- checkouts for each request
may be longer than we'd like.
The 2.0 wishlist does have versioning. We have some ideas on the design
but many issues remain.

When you say integration do you mean having phpMyAdmin packaged with the
data package? That would mean we'd have to keep that up to date with their
schedules. That could be a drag.

Hmm, ok, so a way to associate data (text) with pages. Interesting.

That's going to be application specific -- the core has no way to know
what the visitied (admin) page does, or even if it does any editing work
at all.

Cool! Let me know when I can blab.
