'k, I think that *overall* this is our biggest issue ... Dave was 
proposing "lets move techdocs and then worry about the WYSIWYG editor", 
which, a large portion of us disagree with ... the WYSIWYG editor needs to 
be in place *before* moving techdocs, so that the migration isn't on just 
a couple of ppls shoulders ...

Now, if you can throw together something in a couple of hours, that 
satisfies everyone's concerns ... ?

Now, you mention that your code is in C#, which isn't really a big issue, 
as there are at least two FreeBSD based C# compilers that I know of:

Either of which can be installed ... just say the word ...

I don't necessarily agree that we need a big, full blown CMS for this, 
which is why some have suggested Gavin's Framewerk stuff, since it didn't 
throw a bunch of bells and whistles in ...
