That's one of the reasons why I used MODX for those projects, after the implementation was done, it was a simple interface for end users to edit / maintain their information.

One follow-up (about the steep and rocky learning curve) question: Does this entry barrier apply also to end users? As far as I'm concerned, steep and rocky learning curves are par for the course among those of us who do development work, but if (after our initial work has mostly been completed) the tasks of creating/editing content, and publishing/approval workflows still require some minimal "expert" level of knowledge, that's likely to be a show-stopper here. thanks again, ~c > > _______________________________________________ > New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List > http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk > > http://www.nyphp.org/show-participation > _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show-participation _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show-participation
