IMHO the (debatable) fact that the web site sucks is an independant question. Right now we could make it all static and this would improve performance during a slashdotting, make it much easier to find cheap or free hosting, and generally would make a lot of sense. We can worry about changing it later on. The parts that should be dynamic server-side can be, such as forums, but right now we don't have them. Emu is constantly segfaulting in php-cgi, this is one reason to want to move. It would be partly solved by making it all static. So can we agree on making the web site static content? What is involved in making language auto-selection work in apache for static content? PS updating the paypal balance is trivial - fetching the balance happens on a cron job anyway, so we can just substitute it every so often. The next task is the bug tracker; other mails will deal with this... -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
