DryDock r6

DryDock is a Web publishing application that implements a development/production Web site pipeline. It codifies an approval process that forces users to approve all Web site changes before they go into production.

Sometimes, on a web server, system administrators are often ill-equipped to determine who created the document, why its being served, how long its been publicly viewable, and how its changed over time.

To police our own website, we create DryDock. DryDock is a web publishing application that governs the replication of content from a developmental, or staging web tree to a production web tree (ideally placed on a second server). DryDock codifies a formal approval process that forces management to approve all web site changes before those changes are put into production. Users never interact directly with the production web tree; DryDock updates it on their behalf.
