My copy on bgpdata is in flux as it has been difficult to get all the
pieces working at the same, but yes during certain snapshots it is a
working copy of the system.

The released code contains the SQL script you need to setup the tables. 
I had asked Todd for mysql access with my username on bgpdata, so I have
the tables built.

the SQL tables are in pmm-cms/NewsCMS/sql/newsdb.sql

mysql> show tables;

One thing I'd suggest right now is that we continue any discussion on
the SF list that is provided.  Here's the info to subscribe:

pmm-cms-developers mailing list

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pmm-cms-developers

I cc'd the list on this reply just so we'd have this message in the
archives.
