Hi FreeBSD www admins, I am a college student assisting the OpenAFS project with redesigning their website. One of the OpenAFS elders mentioned that he liked the layout and functionality of FreeBSD's site. I was hoping you could give me a few pointers :) If you could start from scratch and do things over again, would you prefer to use xml/xslt/Makefiles? Most website software has some sort of web-based content editor, but I suppose this means no more editing with vim/emacs. On the other hand, the current setup seems to limit dynamic interaction, as Murray observed in his blog. How much of an effect does this have on the community? Murray had mentioned that the XML syntax can be raise the barrier to entry for those who aren't web designers. What are some ways around this? Lastly, I see that your community uses your wiki a lot. What are your thoughts about MoinMoin from an infrastructure admin's point of view? I noticed that the Fedora project moved from MoinMoin to Mediawiki recently, and I wondered: if you were able to start from scratch, what wiki software would you use? - Ken
