Hi list,

I've been looking at ocms the last couple of days and it looks 
impressive. I have some questions though, maybe you lot can answer them, 
or point me out some resources where I can find docs on this.
I am basically an html designer with little to no cms experience. What 
I'd like to do is use ocms to serve the dynamic contents of the site I 
am building. Is it possible, and if so, how, to import the html site 
into ocms and by using tags have parts of the site's content be 
dynamically presented? I'd also like to have an interface where the 
enduser can edit the dynamic content in such a way that no or very 
little knowledge of the system is needed. How easily can this be 
accomplished? Mind you, I am not a java programmer and have only little 
experience using cms's. The only knowledge I have up until now is what I 
have learnt comparing several oss projects. Mambo looks nice but it too 
static. One has to adjust the design of a site too much to make it 
useful. Sure, you can do what you like with it, but that requires quite 
some modifications to Mambo. Could it be that OpenCMS is too flexible 
for me ;)?

Thanks
