[opencms-dev] Best Practices for Setting up 'staging'environment for Content?

[Chirouze Olivier]

Thanks a lot for this information Mathias.

I will have a look at both soon.

By any chance, do you know any module that would allow users to set
comments on files? (a "comment" field by file, or ideally, comments
directly on the file, "a la Word")...

Thanks

Olivier
