To me, not at all important. To the site's sponsor, that's perhaps a very different matter. (Who, for the record, has been very good to me and hence this community.)
I'll be thinking and talking about this whole topic with others for a while. In the meantime, to stave off the wolves at the front door (overly harsh imagery, I know, but it's what came to mind), I've put some of the more important items from the last month or so on the main page.

If not at all (or it's not a question of resources on the hosting machine), use of a Linux-based content management system running as a guest might be an elegant solution. At least Drupal is known to work nicely on mainframe Linux, and I'd be willing to supply a drop-in appliance Linux system that could support such an approach. From there, it's just content migration and some DNS hacking. It also might be a good opportunity to mirror the site elsewhere in case of connectivity problems (there are excellent tools for that in Linux that I don't think work on the CMS WWW servers). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
