Hello all,

the problem on those CMS systems (python-written and PHP-written
likewise) is that they sometimes have security holes where a cracker can
more or less easily "own" www.flightgear.org and put his "Owned by
some-fool-cracker" message in there.

I think, this is why someone suggested that Google thing here because
then Google needs to take care about such things as fixing security
holes and installing updates. That is for sure a good reason to
"outsource" hosting of your project.

But like Curt stated before: This has a very big downside, like every
medal has (remember, medals have two sides...) a backside. :( And that
one is also very clear: Do we, no better does Curt want to put his
project into the hand of Google who offers a proprietary website engine?

And yes, the main page does fail passing the HTML test [1], and
upgrading it to XHTML might also be a nice option to think about (4.01
is getting old in these days).

So because of the domain flightgear.org belongs to Curt, he decides and
we have to take it as he decides. :) And I think he is smart enough to
not install the first "best" found CMS and next day, the side says the
owned-by-fool-cracker message... ;-)

My 2 cents for this.

Regards,
Roland
