[ALUG] Simple CMS and/or WYSIWYG HTML editor - any suggestions?

[Ross Fenning]

Is she going to need to update a lot more than just the page content
really that much? I'd be tempted to do something like make up the main
part of the site with her or use a design from one of the open source
template sites and then find some way that she could just edit  that
content. I made a thing for someone where all the pages where .html or
.txt files and each had a wrapper .php page that include()'d the text
file they were editing.

Basically customising a CMS solution for her :-)
