One of my big projects right now is to get my school newspaper online. Like most things I do, I have some thoughts on how to do this right that are going to necessitate me writing my own software to do it.
One of the tougher things to work out with stuff like this (given the stateless nature of the web) is locking. A couple minutes ago I got a crazy idea to do away with locking and take a cvs-style approach to the whole situation (possibly even using cvs for article storage). I don't know for sure if it'll work yet, but if nothing else it'll be a fun little effort. I'm a big fan of cvs, so it would be cool to put it to use here.
