i might add something here, too: it's always very easy to define and find the, erm, content management system (or call it publishing system) of choice for yourself. but as usual the biggest problem when working for a client is the client itself (to put it nicer: you never know if the client can cope with a piece of software as you can do).

currently, i am having a hard time to make a decision for a low-cost system that indeed is usable for the client. either it is simple but inflexible (ie. almost impossible to extend for custom functionalities) or it is full of possibilites i just cannot use because i run into the superstructure problem (which is also easier if you want to learn it for yourself, for fun).

that's why i came to the conclusion that doing it from scratch sounds like the best way. we'll see, though (client has to nod before any action is taken, anyway).

and btw. it's very likely that i cannot use helma in this case because of the server capabilities. although i am already thinking about a helma app that publishes static html from a local machine via ftp...
