It's not like it's difficult to do. Yes, in fact it is. It is a complete pain in the butt in comparison to editing a wiki. If I want a page added to the .Org I have to: A. Understand CVS B. Understand HTML C. Understand patch Worse, if I want to test my changes: A. Understand apache B. Understand mod_rewrite C. Install and configure PHP D. Figure out how everything is laid out in the htdocs structure for pgweb Now, *I* understand all these things (except mod_rewrite). I *can* contribute to the website and have. *I* and nobody else in this community should have to go through that much effort to add a page. As a comparison for CMDs website: (if the page exists) A. Login B. Edit page C. Review changes D. Save changes (if the page doesn't exist) A. Login B. Insert new row into pages and site_items table C. Edit page D. Review changes E. Save changes The only time anyone has to do any type of coding is if we want a new feature such as my blog. Compare to a wiki: A. Login B. Make change C. Review change D. Save change Now that I have written all of this. I am not suggesting that we change our web infrastructure. I am however suggesting that we stop insulting people and looking very arrogant about our, "It isn't like it is that hard", because it is indeed hard and much harder than it should be.
