	1 What is MyCMS?
	MyCMS is the short name for MyNews Content Management System. MyCMS is an additional module of MyNews to manage an Internet publishing system. MyCMS adds the concept of article. An article is a kind of long news. It can be viewed as a newspaper article. An article is written in plain text. Special characters are used to add formatting information. An article can have links to other web page. It can have inline images and footnotes. An article belongs to a section. A section is a special template with no URL to scan. An article can be linked to a topic. MyCMS also introduces the concept of author (the user that has created the article) and moderator (the user that has published the article).

	2 If you are author
	You can create articles in the sections specified by the MyCMS administrator. You are responsible for the content of your articles. You can preview your article before publication. When you think an article is ready to be published, you can publish it if the corresponding section is not moderated or submit it to the moderators if the section is moderated. See the author manual for more information.

	3 If you are moderator
	You are responsible for the publication of articles. When you receive a publication request from an author, you can preview his article. If you think that it is ready to be published, you can publish it. If you think the author must do some changes, you can send it back to the author with your comment. See the moderator manual for more information.

	4 If you are admin
	You can manage sections and their topics. You can control the different privileges (author, moderator) allowed to users on some sections. See the admin manual for more information.
