I'd like to point out one feature of the current website which may not
be obvious.

A single xml file, which creates website content, is used to produce
three types of output: (1) the structured php which we use on the website
(2) "monolithic" html files, less flexible, but which we distribute on
the disk image with our binary distribution, (3) pure text files, some
of which are stored in various locations on our CVS site for use as
README files and so on.

Yes, I apologise for not pointing that out. A change tot he web-site should of course not hamper our efforts to provide monolithic HTMl or Text files. I just find that the "input interface" is rather cumbersome, especially if we were to add special editors for Web-based things like easier work on documentation or a regular column for the web-site, for interviews as their own section etc.


The system could still use XML as a storage method internally so that we could easily extract the information we need from it.
Personally I believe that XML itself is well suited for our needs.
