That is slightly overstated, but mostly correct ATM. The last two releases have required me to grab the four(?) pages that need to change, locally edit the HTML (usually duplicating a previous paragraph and incrementing the release numbers), and uploading them again. It took less than 15 minutes last time, and that included adding some doco to .../doc/developer.tex. That is about right in terms of required effort from the release manager IMHO. It is certainly better than the old situation. However, we are only doing point releases. A major release would be a bit trickier. If we ever have someone who actually wanted to add interesting content to the site we will probably want something better. It would need to be presentation-heavy content though, something that can not be served by just using the wiki[1]. > as any server-based > CMS is adding a million security holes and needs daily updates, to avoid > having > the page hacked constantly? Mostly agree again, wearing my security professional hat. What I would like to know is if there is some simple robust middle ground between editing raw HTML and massive CMSs. The criteria for such a system are: 1. No maintenance required This implies "secure". A working definition of a "secure" piece of software would be that I have never heard of it in a security context:-) 2. Fast learning curve Because use is very rare 3. Someone who has some history with FreeCol wants to set it up and look after it 4. Looks better than just using the wiki. Cheers, Mike Pope [1] Indeed, perhaps we should just migrate the text-heavy parts of the old website to the wiki.
