[Pdx-pm] off topic (possibly): web based shared document with control

[John Sechrest]

This is something you can do in google sites without too much trouble.
It is also something you can do in drupal.
So a CMS makes sense.

The hard part is if you have specific opinions about how the pages are
supposed to work.
