As a different option, on a project a few years back we built a web-based XML editor using chiba[1] to transform XML documents stored in a CMS (Documentum) to XHTML forms via XForms. Since chiba does the transformation server-side, performance was pretty good, completely cross-browser, and we could add/change forms without having to redeploy the app as the XForm templates were in the CMS too.
Note, the XML documents were a handful of very specific document types that translated well to strongly-typed form input fields -- only a few places was a user actually allowed to enter free-form text -- and the end users were not "sophisticated" enough to be exposed directly to the XML, so a "general" editor was not our first choice. Whether any of the above is applicable to you depends on your use case. HTH, Doug [1] http://chiba.sourceforge.net/ On 8/4/06, c <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Although I could be wrong, I don't really see it that way. I look at what I'm trying to do as strictly a DMS. The lines might be blurred a little because the online editor would probably save documents in HTML format, but I want them treated just like a 'regular' document as opposed to a 'web page'.... if that makes any sense. But I will take another look at Magnolia.
