i have no experience with emacs.  i have tried it a few times though.  is it
available for win$ too?  i use linux at home and at work.  but i'm not the one
who's going to update the site :).  users are heavily depended on win$

guess i'll have a REAL look at emacs now, and who knows, maybe it's time to
give the users a better OS.

will emacs work with ZClass objects?  i once ftp into zope, but can only see
the root dir.  can't see any ZClass object.

how is it with your users?  do editorial users muck around with the design?  i
would think that editorial should stick to reporting.  and if they want new
feature, just tell the programmer.
