Contest entry: Spinneret CMS

My intention is to build a simple Content Management System (CMS) for the Spinneret. It will allow a user to create and modify web content remotely through a web browser. For basic functionality the following should be in the CMS:

1) Administration interface for CMS.
2) Create, delete, and edit files on the SD card.
3) Simple custom tag creation to link and display data created or captured by the Spinneret.
4) Password protect pages.
5) Built-in tags to display the last file edit date on the page, or display the current time, etc.

If time permits and the Spinneret is capable, the following would be nice to have as well:

1) Be able to upload files (pictures, etc.) to the SD card.
2) A management tool for the Spinneret to manage things like the IP address, restart, bringing the site offline, etc.
3) Simple version system (maybe a one or two versions save).
4) Page not found (404) page.

I will not be building a HTTP web server, there are already several of them out for the propeller already. They are far better then what I would be able to do. :) I would like to instead build this on top of one of them. Although I will probably need help to implement some kind of get or post method.

    WOW! Things are moving fast!! Already a http, a dhcp, and a get service done. I need to get my rear in gear and start on this thing. I have my spinneret in hand and it is up and running, and my computer can talk to it no less. :)

    Does anyone know if some kind of password ability (shttp, etc) could be done or would it be too much?
