Hi,

Here is a quick brief about how to use this CPS instance for our  
concern (for people that doesn't know it already).

Requirement : be registered (use Sign up on the home page).

In CPS (in the configuration used for the site) we have 2 main spaces :
     - Sections
     - Workspaces

1/ Workspaces

Workspaces are used to create / produce content. There are the  
collaboration spaces.

You can here create, comment, and collaborate. There is also some  
collaboration tools like forums (but I think we all prefer use this  
mailing list), wiki (that could be interesting), etc.
By default, all authenticated users are Member of all workspaces (I  
think it will help for collaboration), so all registered users can  
create / modify content.
It is possible to create new workspaces (and sub-workspaces).

When you modify a document, please add a comment in the comment field  
at the bottom of the edit form to say what you've modified (it will  
be log in the document history).

If you want to use versioning, please use the action "Checkout" on a  
document. It will create a draft version that is only available for  
you. The main document is locked. To check-in your draft version, you  
just have to use the "checkin" action on the draft version. It will  
check-in modification and archive previous version.
All previous version are available from the Status history (it is  
also possible to consult / revert to a previous version).

To create short document (using HTML or STX), please use "Article"  
content type (it is also possible to attach File if you look at the  
bottom of the form, after the creation). To create a structured  
document please use OpenOffice DocBook document (I will post a howto  
tomorrow). For other file type, use "File" content type :-) And if  
you want a wiki, use Wiki :-)
For compound document, you can use Flexible Document.

For "secret" it is possible to block role acquisition, but I don't  
think we need it for now.

To receive notifications (content creation / modification /  
deletion / etc.) via email you can subscribe to any workspaces using  
the action "Subscribe).

2/ Section

Sections are "publication spaces". To publish a document, you have to  
submit it to a rubric and a SectionReviewer has to validate it. The  
document is then available from the front-office site.


That's all for now. I think it is enough to begin to use the site  
(don't hesitate to post question if you have some :-)


Thanks,

EB.
