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.=20

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 =20
introducing yet another technology platform (.net) for PgSQL based =20
sites.  Trying to track down an issue with borg the other day where =20
something was exploited web software wise, (and seeing how much =20
"stuff" was on the vm) I would say we should be concerned with =20
consolidating, not expanding technology dependencies.  I know svr2 is =20
getting cleaned up, but this is more of a philosophy thing.  Can =20
Alexy's framework that runs the main pgsql site work for techdocs/=20
knowledge base?  If not what's wrong with it?  Framewerk is nearly =20
mature enough to be used, but I won't have the time for the next 2 =20
months or more to head up or be a primary programmer on something =20
like this.  I can however offer help and support on the project if =20
Framewerk is going to be used.  If you're interested in knowing where =20
things are at and what's outstanding for evaluation: http://=20
svn.framewerk.org/trac.cgi/wiki/Issues - I am proposing this because =20
unlike moving to .net we already use PHP pretty much everywhere else =20
(other than the existing techdocs).  I would also offer that unifying =20
the technology used for all the official pgsql sites would be a very =20
nice thing.

Regards,

Gavin
