That is something I think we're all agreed we would like to see.

PHP4. Arguments could be made for using a CMS such as Bricolage for
techdocs however (I think Josh looked at this, though I don't know how
far he got).

Andreas' new portal is all DB backed content with online
translation/editting, as is the existing advocacy site iirc. The
existing portal has news, events and the docs in the DB. Techdocs is a
mix of PHP pages with content and Wiki code iirc.

Nothing is off-limits though we should be giving priority to Andreas'
new code at the moment. Once the main portal is as we wish, then the
rest of the sites can be brought in line.

Regards, Dave.
