RE: W3C alternatives for SIMILE web and cvs hosting

Minor - these documents seem to have started life in MSWord.  Is the master
the HTML or is there an MSWord original?  When a document is not authored in
HTML, would it be possible to post the original as well?  This would seem
more robust, given our image problems to date.

Internet Explorer does not print the image in the protoypes strawman for me
- but Mozilla does :-)

Hi Team,

I don't think a WIKI is quite what we need. We need a way of giving the team
access to the SIMILE documents so that anyone can get any version of a
document and track changes on the document. However changes will be made by
editors, based on a managed issue list submitted by team members. The
documents are in HTML so I think CVS / ViewCVS will fulfil our needs for
access and change management.

WIKI's have their place as general discussion tools, so we may like to
consider a WIKI as well, but I think our primary need is for something else.
