That's one of the reasons why I used MODX for those projects, after the
implementation was done, it was a simple interface for end users to edit /
maintain their information.

Thanks so very much for the very helpful response; I'll definitely check
into the resources you've pointed me towards.

One follow-up (about the steep and rocky learning curve) question:  Does
this entry barrier apply also to end users?  As 
far as I'm concerned, steep and rocky learning curves are par for the course
among those of us who do development work, 
but if (after our initial work has mostly been completed) the tasks of
creating/editing content, and publishing/approval 
workflows still require some minimal "expert" level of knowledge, that's
likely to be a show-stopper here.

     thanks again,
            ~c
