Actually I dont regard myself a Flash developer, my work doesnt require it, I mainly use it to tutor a bunch of people, the same goes for PHP, Java and a bunch of other languages.
I actually code in C/C++ and Assembly (well, sue me) on a daily basis. Also Python.
@Humphrey thats a Nice App though

Hmmm, Ok, now this simply looks like lets make a cms because we were dared
to by Humphrey. In actual fact, I really support Humphreys stand. Give me a
minute to explain.
If you will be developing CMSes for every new website contract you receive,
this is an overkill. If you take months to develop a CMS which is used by
few websites, it is an overkill, If you make a CMS because
somebody dared
you to and you didin't look at the future, it is an over kill, If you are
doing this for non-commercial purposes, it is an overkill CMS OOOO CMS OOO
CMS OOOO
Ok, I was just paying my respects to former Ikolomani MP, Mr. Bonny Khalwale
anyways, back to the topic
You make a CMS, you take weeks -> months to develop it (depending on
complexity), This CMS is very unmodular, hackercentric (serious hacks to
make some things work) and It is used by 1 - 20 websites (5 of them yours).
And worst of all, since it is non commercial, NOBODY will do updates on that
thing (lets tell the truth here).
In the end, you will make a CMS that anybody uses at their own risk, not a
product with solid support and background.
On the other hand, maybe am just raising some issues worth looking at. If
you can cover these bases then I believe you have a product. Cheers

Those rather imaginative chaps have decided to name it Reinhardt.
Apparently, it was named after a mucisian Django Reinhardt and the first
name seemed snazzy enough for 2 :-).
