texte = We would never have evolved to this level without a lot of blood, sweat and tears. It was a long difficult road to prove WebDNA to our customers. But we actually have 147 site running WebDNA, 178 under contract around the world. 36 of them are using a CMS that we developed and pretty much sell as a packaged system. My problem now is keeping all those packaged sites up to date with the latest versions of our CMS. That task alone is practically killing us. Right now, this very moment, I have run away from my office and am hiding out while trying to create a Revision Control System that will keep all those sites up to date. The trick is that I have 5 WebDNA servers running and am trying to invent a distribution system that will control track CRC values of files in an effort to manage an official Version Number for our system. 24 hours now and I'm not even close to a solution.
