I got the workspace side running with only a little fiddling to
back out a CPAN-installed Mason 1.15, but still don't understand
how to publish pages to a viewing site. Is a working example included
or available? I was hoping for something like http://www.plone.org
has as a starting point (but of course I want to use apache/mod_perl
instead of zope/python). Or do I just have to learn a lot more about
Mason myself?
Unfortunately, there is no demo site. If you create stories with the
default elements in the system and preview them, the default templates
will render your stories (in a very ugly way). If you create a
Destination to distribute those stories, you can then publish them.
But if you want to customize the look and feel of the templates for
your own site, you are going to have to learn how to create templates.
This is even more true if you create your own elements. The
documentation for Mason templates is in Bric::Templates and
Bric::AdvTemplates. But no, you don't have to learn Mason; you can use
HTML::Template templates, instead, if you like. The documentation for
HTML::Template templates is in, you guessed it, Bric::HTMLTemplate.
BTW, all of the Bricolage documentation is available online, too,
although be aware that the online copies are for the development
version of Bricolage.

Good luck!
