Depending upon the scope of the project, there are a lot of embedded web-site options that you might want to look into. For example, the one I've used a lot is TiddlyWiki: http://www.tiddlywiki.com/ Though, I'll admit I generally start with one of the templates from http://www.tiddlytools.com/ which come pre-loaded with various plugins (as I find the stock TiddlyWiki to be rather spartan). Even more plugins, themes, etc can be found from the TiddlyVault: http://tiddlyvault.tiddlyspot.com/ I've used TiddlyWiki for things *like* what you're describing, and even for full-fledged websites (for example, I used it when I uploaded the former Open Source work from a company I used to work at to SourceForge, http://leftovers.sourceforge.net/ ) If, however, you need something more specialized, then TiddlyWiki might not be what you're looking for. ---Sam _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
