Ewww Yuk!

Websites in CVS? That's a horrible thought. Sure, it's better than the
present "people with accounts on the server can upload" mostly-manual
approach, but it's not as good as Zwiki will do.

Zwiki allows for good web based editing, it lets people be added to
groups and have group permissions set, etc. It's very nifty.

Regards and best wishes,
