I went live with part of my site in Zope and all went well (thanks for =
the mountains of help from this group). But I've ran into a bit of a =
sticky wicket that I hadn't thought of until now.

We (me - Developer and our Designer) primarily use external editors on =
Win98 and FTP to do what we need to do, then upload the changes back to =
Zope (I use Xemacs, she uses DreamWeaver) - however the version control =
object doesn't catch FTP transactions, so whatever we upload is live, =
thereby eliminating the ability to test new things (particularly new =
scripts - which don't work with version control anyway).

My question is - short of setting up a ZEO cluster (which I'm not sure =
would solve it anyway), or having a zope install on our desktops, how =
can I setup some ability to do new things to the site without them being =
live right away?
