The remainder is simply comments and discussion on a related topic and referrs 
to the 'documentation site' only and a correction of some misconceptions.

Not to worry my skin is not that thin so pls lets stop worrying if I am pissed 
or not. I would tell you!!. Helge likes comments brief so when possible I am 
brief...hence "best of luck"

Secondly, wrt to workflow. Our docs site is 99.9 percent out of the box 
solution. Workflow in zope and plone is fully customizable so if you want one 
click publishing it can be done easily. However, as you well know one click 
publishing has its limitation if allowed site wide. All things in zope (and 
derivative products) are extensively customizable.

Ah..no. This is one of the few mods that I made on docs as no one stepped 
forward to fullfill the editorial role to approve user contrib data. The 
stagging process is fully and extensively customizable and is considered one 
of the strong points of the system. Its very difficult to have 1500 accounts 
and one admin/editor/waterboy on a partime basis so the system was setup to 
match the level of staffing.

pls see above.
