Warning! This posting contains hidden advertising for a self written script!

;-)

Hi,
I stick with static HTML pages, too. But for the maintainance (like automagically creating the links if a new page appears) I wrote a little perl script which is now published as GPL. I use it to create a whole site from some XML files and some configuration files.

I know that this is

  1. self-ad
  2. not immediately useful for you (without loads of work)
but I could imagine that you could setup some default configuration files and a DTD for your users and they would just edit some XML text and w3make (the script) would do the rest.

I think it would be a huge effort for the start of the thing, yet it may be working. If you're interested have a look at it at http://www.skamphausen.de/software/w3make/index.html.
