I have significant experience using the Apache CMS with the Apache =
OpenOffice podling.

See https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/site/trunk and =
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/ooo-site/trunk

The second is the live www.openoffice.org a huge site of rewrapped html.

As a Flex Mentor I will certainly help the project get up to speed with =
the CMS.

HTH,
Dave
