Yes, that's what I've been doing at http://wilber.gimp.org:8192/ On Tue, May 22, 2001 at 11:21:14AM +0200, Jens Lautenbacher wrote: > I think this is desperately needed.

Yes, it's actually scarier than my mod_perl stuff -- at least from a content-writer or designer's standpoint. Of course my stuff is scarier from a programmer's perspective. *grin* > This is for sure part of the problem someone has who just wants to > update some parts of the site. For boring static content, my template system looks _much_ cleaner. I now have a Yahoo-style link database on a Postgres database working at: http://wilber.gimp.org:8192/links/ Of course there are no interesting links yet, and there is no editing interface for the links ... but it works. I am very happy to point out that the navigation on the left-hand side of the page is generated from the titles of static pages and from the Postgres database. The navigation-tree-generator traverses all page-generating objects. I'm just going to keep hacking on my stuff as I have time and if someone wants to help out with content or design or something then they're welcome to it. If my code isn't used for www.gimp.org I will just put it on www.gimp.ca so I won't be offended if it is ignored.
