Dear Fritz, I'm wondering if the use of plain HTML is a conditio sine qua non. What are the advantages of maintaining the website via SVN? IMO maintaining a website and source code are two separate things.

We often get emails like the first in this thread that R could do with an update on homepage design (I fully agree) ... but actually nobody volunteers to do it. Hence, we still have what I did when the worldwide number of R users was probably less than 1000. For technical reasons there are some conditions: the homepage is maintained via SVN like the R sources, so all should be plain HTML, no content management system etc. Ad frames: the main reason that I used them in the first place is to have the menus etc in only one file, no need for updating several files when a link changes. Today I would probably use iframes, but any other soultion is fine, too. Another plus would be if we could use the same design for CRAN, and that means no server-trickery like server-side includes etc (because we do not control the server setup of the mirrors).
