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.
