Other than the server-side JavaScript, I don't know.  It never came up
until I got the idea to explore making my webmastering life easier.  I'll
need to find out.

I'll explore those technologies.  I was hoping for a "canned" solution but
I obviously can't find what I need until I know what infrastructure I have
available.

Now, that is an intereting idea.  That could open things up to
"everything" since I run the DB and CMS locally where I have full control.
 I'll think about that after I see what the server can give me.
