Yes, I raised this as well, however if only the backend cms is build on .net or something, and docs are pushed to us in the proper template format for the website, I'm less concerned. 

The 2 things I think are essential are:

- The user site should be fully integrated with the existing site so it mirrors etc.

- Anything that is actually on the main site is either pushed to us in template format, or built and integrated in php.

I mentioned this to Josh off-list but I am concerned about  
introducing yet another technology platform (.net) for PgSQL based  
sites.  Trying to track down an issue with borg the other day where  
something was exploited web software wise, (and seeing how much  
"stuff" was on the vm) I would say we should be concerned with  
consolidating, not expanding technology dependencies.  I know svr2 is  
getting cleaned up, but this is more of a philosophy thing.  Can  
Alexy's framework that runs the main pgsql site work for techdocs/ 
knowledge base?  If not what's wrong with it?  Framewerk is nearly  
mature enough to be used, but I won't have the time for the next 2  
months or more to head up or be a primary programmer on something  
like this.  I can however offer help and support on the project if  
Framewerk is going to be used.  If you're interested in knowing where  
things are at and what's outstanding for evaluation: http:// 
svn.framewerk.org/trac.cgi/wiki/Issues - I am proposing this because  
unlike moving to .net we already use PHP pretty much everywhere else  
(other than the existing techdocs).  I would also offer that unifying  
the technology used for all the official pgsql sites would be a very  
nice thing.

Regards,

Gavin
