Just a warning her - unless you have had a lot of experience with Jetspeed
it can cost you a ***lot*** of time. It is not the most easiest thing to
setup and maintain. It would take a huuuge amount of time to setup and you
would have to assess if it is worth it - when the 60 hours spent instead on
a simpler website and JOS would do more benefit.
I am not saying don't use it - just think about it before you decide to. It
takes a lot of effort and knowledge to maintain so consider yourself warned
:P.
Thou as an Apache guy and friends with Kevin (the guy who wrote it) I say
use it - if it is really what you want :P
Cheers,
Pete
