Re: [PLUG] putting the plug site in cvs


The September issue of LinuxJournal has an article
on Web content management, the focus is on Mason-CM,
which is PERL based. www.masonhq.com

They also have a sidebar that mentions some general links
to CVS and web development. They mention an article
from Greenspun at ArsDigita, www.arsdigita.com/asj/cvs, and 2 others
durak.org/cvswebsites and www.daemonnews.org/199903/websites.html

I don't know how good the links are, although Greenspun
is usally good reading. The above might all be overkill
for what you want.
