you won't find this in OSS, yet, though I may be working on something 
like this next year.

Actually editing requires a good bit more usually than I have seen 
possible in an online environment, but it could be done I suppose.  I 
would probably give the editor something to download, then upload, thus 
we would have both versions, which is important for various reasons. 
 Though the one software that we have, the Community Arts software 
allows for this part to be accomplished, it is not the same and the 
editors are not happy with editing online.

yes, the pdf system we have through php with pdf and truetype, i haven't 
made it yet, but i guess i could.  The real question at this place in 
time is maintaining formatting.

since the cddc system is intended to produce online journals, it does 
not do these last two parts.
