Hi

I've just started evaluating Zope a few weeks ago to replace our 
school's old web site.   While the documentation is great I'm having 
trouble tracking down some pointers to the following:

1.  Setting up some type of version control.  I've installed 
ZopeVersionControl from http://cvs.zope.org/Products/ZopeVersionControl 
but can't figure out how to use it (it is installed as a product).  The 
help files not finished.

2.  Workflows - I need to implement workflows for editing approvals etc.

3.  Setting up a staging area and then publishing to a live version.  I 
read something about Zope "versions" and  I read somewhere to stay away 
from them.  I tried versions but again I had trouble getting them to 
work.  Is a staging -> live setup possible?  Is there a better alternative?

I've installed the CMF (1.4.2).  I've even looked at Plone (after 
dropping down to CMF 1.3.3) but I don't want a portal setup, I'd like 
just a basic site which has version control, workflows and a type of 
staging/live arrangement.  I've installed the LDAPUserFolder product to 
control access to parts of the site as well as managing it.       

Can anyone point me to some information.  

Cheers

Adrien
