Michael, chill. Lets look at the facts shall we: 1) Since moving to XSM updates have almost complete stopped. The changes in the last 2 years are all trivial. (Minus the redesign work.) 2) XSM is, speaking only for myself, slow and non-intuitive to work with. Simple news updates take 30 minutes or more due to rebuilds. 3) No one has stepped up to the plate to work within the current framework, and honestly I haven't heard anyone say they like it or are willing to maintain it in XSM. 4) Final decisions on what happens with E.org is Raster's call. I haven't just yanked down XSM and done things "my way" because its not my call, its ultimately his. I brought up discussion about switching off of XSM over a year ago and the discussion fizzled out on the "leave it alone" note, I didn't rock the boat. 5) I don't care WHAT we use. Flat HTML is fast and easy and we'd have an updated site in less than a day even with the site on SF. So long as the choice is easier and faster to work with I really am not going to press for any particular solution. Bottom line, the site gets a noteworthy amount of traffic on a daily basis. No one is updating or maintaining the site. This wasn't the case prior to XSM, I'm not saying it was perfect but work was at least happening. Tell me what you want to move to and I'll do it. The point is here that I'm willing and able to do the work. Tell me what you want and that no one will freak out when I do it and off we go. ... besides, Michael, you know me. I don't tend to lone-gun things or dictate. I'm here to help, others will help, I believe, if we have a better framework, lets just get the site working reasonably again. I've had "Fix E.org" on my TODO list for over 2 years!!! I'd like to finally get on with things. benr. PS: I think I miss mails like this from you, mej, the most.
