If you have some tech guy/girl in you organization who knows a little bit about Linux,php,mysql and apache you're a long way. While setting it up you get enough knowledge about websites and the idea's behind it. Your average user who has to fill the website will be happy typing away in the browser, not bothering about techie stuff. We Muxum (www.muxum.nl most text in Dutch) have it running in which I am the techie and the sales group is entering data and one guy is approving the articles which makes the website looks consistent.

One nice feature of our website is that all our products are in one topic tree defined and maintained and by use of a PHP-script (snippet) am able to build dynamically a list of all our products and by parameters I can chouse which products are relevant for the current visible article/topic and present these products. > Thanks in advance, > > -- > ================================================================= > > Octavi Fors > Regards, Edwin Barendse Security, Data & Telecom Engineer Trainer WildPackets Academy & Sniffer University Muxum Data Communicatie B.V.
