Re: Seperating Content from code, and making it transparent

[Joshua Eichorn <jeichorn JoshuaEichorn com>]

I'm pretty busy this week but i'll be working on getting some more 
framework stuff done, and hopefully jeff will get the cvs stuff figured 
out soon.
Til then i'll just be writing sample code and putting it up on my 
website.  Hopefully some time next week we can get a sample site up 
somewhere that
is pulling from cvs.  And i think Jeff is working on getting some xslt 
style sheets setup.
