The homepage is indeed treated differently; in fact, we are supposed to be using "DomainHome.html.html", not index.html; and the left navbar elements are specifically different for the homepage than for other project pages. The WWW project is unique. But that does not mean that we cannot get around it or are required to use the default structure. We use now, for instance, www/www/index.html, not the DomainHome.html.html because that latter page cannot be staticized, whereas the index.html page can be. [snip] >> >> Maybe.

That, and I don't know how it will work with a really heavy load. Hence, my preference is for something that does not require fetching from another server; from another directory, it should be possible, but again, as that is what every page composition does on SC. To be clear: I like simplicity and the idea that we ought not to be bound by the left navbar, which is default but not strictly speaking necessary. We would have to ask CollabNet for a one-off to suppress it for the homepage and ensure that such a suppression is staticizable and robust, but I think that can be done. >ciao Christian best, Louis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
