Hi Andreas,

This definitely looks like a good start.  Found it difficult to get the 
German version of the site to load automatically (Mozilla probably 
needed a restart after changing the language selection, but I had too 
many other windows open with interesting things in them to want to close 
them...).

Is there a strategy in place for creating news and events in languages 
other than English?

We'd probably want to manage the events and news a bit seperately from 
each other... or at least have a "language" field for each news/event so 
it only displays the relevant ones.

This might or might not have been considered already though, with me 
having missed the conversation...

;-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

If the is for a file in the /admin, /layout or the /files directory, nothing happens. Every other request gets redirected to the script /system/handler.php (or /system/handleform.php which handles every dynamic request) where the pages get built and delivered dynamically.

The cache directory contains all static pages and elements, so this can be used to mirror the whole website (all dynamic contents get linked to postgresql.org statically).
