WordPress is awesome, but isn't it a bit overkill for what freecol.org needs? There aren't that many pages, and they aren't updated that frequently... I've seen some pretty robust sites done for open source projects using just git and some random html templating language. I've even seen a few simple ones that just have a really good CSS template and plain HTML. For example, Cairo's website (cairographics.org) uses a static html generator that gets triggered (I think) via git push, which from a maintainer POV is convenient since updating the website is essentially the same workflow as updating the codebase. And also scriptable... cairo's new-version release process also scripts up all the website updates Bryce ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
