Food for thought:dynAuthor's been a web based hook into Frontier's CMS since March 1997.
http://www.roepcke.com/products/dynauthor/
It doesn't have a Java text editor (just an HTML TEXTAREA), but it could. There's LOTS of stuff in dynAuthor.
ODB List, Edit, Submit, Copy, Create, Rename, Delete, a Glossary Editor, Render, Publish Table, etc. And that's just the ODB interface. (1 of 4 that comes with dynAuthor)
It's open-source? (*not* GPL though, so as Wes says, it's not infectious)
I have it set up on my machine at home, anybody want to take a spin? (tomorrow - I'm still at work and will be until 1:00 AM I think)
It needs work to bring it up to speed with XML-RPC and mainResponder, but the nice thing is, it *does* have a TON of non-XML-RPC, non mainResponder, non Java-Applet functionality.
Any dynAuthor users here? If you are, would you like to see Nirvana functionality in dynAuthor? Also, if you're a dynAuthor user, do you think dynAuthor's a good base to build a web-based front-end to Nirvana's CMS, or should it be scrapped in favour of something built from scratch?
And, if you're not a dynAuthor user, do you think it might be a good base, etc etc?

PS: Who's using dynAuthor? Go to http://www.altavista.com/
Type this query:
[plus sign]link:dynAuthor [minus sign]host:www.roepcke.com
Where you see [plus sign], type a plus sign instead. DG doesn't like plus signs yet. Same for [minus sign] (duh ;-)).
