Err, not to burst your bubble or anything, but there wasn't a lot of 'writing' going on at get-e. On Fri, 2008-08-01 at 13:28 -0700, Ian Caldwell wrote: > well, now that get-e is basically shut down. that opens up some more writers > right there. > > On Fri, Aug 1, 2008 at 1:26 PM, dn sinclair <[

I can suggest http://bricolage.cc/ . I've heard good things about it, and I'm a perl guy myself. Though according to wikipedia, a recent version embeds the php5 interpreter, so the php guys can feel at home too. On Fri, 2008-08-01 at 16:23 -0400, Sthithaprajna Garapaty wrote: > The only reason for

The major part. If it is not done already, separate the presentation from the logic code. Make sure a designer can do the job of styling the site without touching any underlying code. On Fri, 2008-08-01 at 11:04 -0700, Ian Caldwell wrote: > What would you like to see on the new website? What goals

Should it be strictly written in php? The current website uses php, but perhaps the doors are open for other languages, and the cmses written in them. On Fri, 2008-08-01 at 10:46 -0700, Ian Caldwell wrote: > So now it is your chance to tell us why we should be using a specific cms > verses the alt
