What
This is my first attempt at trying to build a Wiki-like knowledge base on top of the Flutterby content management system.
This is a place for explanation, description and static links on a topic that's either too broad to be covered under a single link, or that you're just too lazy to find the real link to.

Dan on the Flutterby CMS

The Flutterby CMS![[Wiki]](/adbanners/lookingglass.png){kind=small}
is a set of packages based on PostgreSQL and Perl. It includes tools for verifying the correctness of HTML, for manipulating HTML and text in the same data structures that Perl's XML::Parser module generates, for strongly separating content and code, and for user management. And it does all the stuff that Flutterby does.
I'm hoping to make a public release soon, if you'd be interested in helping or using the software, drop me a line.

From a note I just sent to Todd.
First, email Dan (danlyke@flutterby.com) for a CVS username and password. Then, from a Un*x prompt, probably in your home directory on your web server, do:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:username@www.flutterby.com:/cvsroot-flutterby
cvs login
cvs checkout flutterby_cms
You'll need to create a PostgreSQL database for this:
createdb flutterbycms
This might require some activity by a sysadminnish type person if you're not set up to be a PostgreSQL superuser.
Edit ./flutterby_cms/Flutterby/Config.pm, and then run
./flutterby_cms/bin/install.pl
Using absolute paths for everything (this one bit me today).
Document where you fail here and I'll start integrating that into this cdocumentation.
