I agree with Kate on this one. Rather than trying to create an infinitely
editable platform, it's probably better to define which content areas need
to be updated, and set up some a database for this.

The best way for them to update IMHO is to have the updatable fields in a
database.  They can access through screens that allow them access only to
the editable fields.

Subject: dream website


Here's a topic that should make for interesting
discussions...

I'm playing around in my non-existant spare-time with
some ideas for an intranet within our company.  I'm in
the brainstorming stage - and trying to think up the
'dream intranet'.  At this point, I can use any
platform I wish.  NT/Unix; IIS/Apache;
ASP/JSP/PHP/.Net; Access/SQL/Oracle etc.  Or anything
else on the market (don't want to restrict anything at
this point).

The main thing - I want it easily updateable by people
who do NOT know HTML nor any coding for that matter.
Normal every day users.  I want Human Resources to be
able to update their pages and Finance to be able to
update thiers.  I want them to be able to go in, edit
the text and formatting of the text.  It can be in a
database or a SSI - again, no restrictions at this
point.

The site (so far) will consist of 5 major
catagories... 120+ pages.

Any suggestions?  What would your 'dream' site be - if
you had no restrictions?  What would the best way be
to create an easily updatable site like this?
