Another ex: images -> flicker, photobucket, CDN, etc. (although this isn't a big security hole, more speed, static, no cookies).

Rewriting in drupal (or similar) would take way too long and would -this is much more important- require someone who is dedicated to musicdsp.org for the next few years (as I myself have very little experience with Drupal, except the nightmare that is called "security updates").I'm just looking for someone who has a bit more time than me and feelslike hacking (not coding) a few extra things like a captcha(recaptcha?) and what not into musicdsp's current code base - which isPHP. And anyway, if I would rewrite it, I would rewrite it in django as I have a vast amount of experience with django. ;-)) - Bram On Fri, Apr 6, 2012 at 8:12 AM, <david.lowenf...@gmail.com> wrote:adding recaptcha to an existing site would not be too difficult, and would get the job done.if you decide to overhaul...

Plus it would look more attractive. I don't think it wouldtake much effort to redo the whole thing in, say, drupal.Have you ever set up a Drupal site? I have. It is not for small-time, non-commercial, low-maintenance overhead projects imho.Yes. Quite a few.Imho it would be a huge job to port the current site to Drupal and there is a lot of ongoing maintenance required to keep securitypatches up to date etc etc.Yes. The biggest problem is security updates. You are right: majorPITA factor. This can be mitigated by a hosted solution, or amulti-site install where someone is already monitoring the site forsecurity updates. But, at the end of the day, that might not be realistic.Doing the theme port alone would be a lot of work.I would not dream of porting the existing theme, but rather use anew, or built-in theme.Unless I'm completely out of touch it is really non-trivial to setup something like musicdsp.org in Drupal with adequate spam filtering. The standard Drupal capcha solution (Mollom) is notgreat -- in my experience it flags a lot of false positives (spamthat isn't spam).Mollom sucks. Captchas alone catch the vast majority of spam. Therest can be handled with moderation.Anyway, this is really just a vote against Drupal for musicdsp.org,not against using a CMS.I actually think the current ad-hoc php solution is not so bad --but Bram knows more about these things than me.Recaptcha could be added to the existing site with fairly little effort, but there are other advantages to a CMS: they are easier to team-manage, organize, and they have a number of potentially useful features like taxonomies (giving the ability to tag and categorizealgos by language and purpose for example.) bjorn----------------------------- Bjorn Roche http://www.xonami.com AudioCollaboration http://blog.bjornroche.com -- dupswapdrop -- the music-dsp mailing list and website: subscription info, FAQ, source code archive, list archive, book reviews, dsp links http://music.columbia.edu/cmc/music-dsp http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/music-dsp--............................................... http://artbots.org .....douglas.....irving........................ http://dorkbot.org .......................... http://music.columbia.edu/cmc/music-dsp ...........repetto............. http://music.columbia.edu/organism ............................... http://music.columbia.edu/~douglas-- dupswapdrop -- the music-dsp mailing list and website:subscription info, FAQ, source code archive, list archive, book reviews,dsp links http://music.columbia.edu/cmc/music-dsp http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/music-dsp-- dupswapdrop -- the music-dsp mailing list and website:subscription info, FAQ, source code archive, list archive, book reviews, dsplinks http://music.columbia.edu/cmc/music-dsp http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/music-dsp-- dupswapdrop -- the music-dsp mailing list and website:subscription info, FAQ, source code archive, list archive, book reviews, dsp linkshttp://music.columbia.edu/cmc/music-dsp http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/music-dsp-- dupswapdrop -- the music-dsp mailing list and website:subscription info, FAQ, source code archive, list archive, book reviews, dsp linkshttp://music.columbia.edu/cmc/music-dsp http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/music-dsp-- http://www.samplesumo.com http://www.freesound.org http://www.smartelectronix.com http://www.musicdsp.org office: +32 (0) 9 335 59 25 mobile: +32 (0) 484 154 730
