Yep. Because that the best solution would be some db-backend 
abstraction layer used in php solution. IFAIK there are some for 
php already available.

It would be great. The open source solution (even GPL) would be 
best, because in that case we would be able to put it in our CVS.

That's the intention. But I'd like rather go with web-based content 
manager than with client-app. But it should doable without much 
work (there are some OS systems to generate php admin code 
from db structure).

Thanks for offer, it's noted for future :)

Ahh, mirrors! How could I forget them :)
