Re: [OSCOM] CMS Choices --> link management

Ah ha!

See, this is what I was looking for. It's actually an interesting
terminology issue-- "link management" seems to both mean managing
directory-style link lists AND internal link management (ie what's
described below). Searching on cmsmatrix was giving me mixed results
since the criteria seems to apply to two different types of features.

ezPublish was on my list, I'll take another look at it. Other
suggestions (or other terms used to describe this feature) still
welcome!

Thanks!
