I honestly don't see the problem WRT security. Only people who have access to github would be able to post stuff, its not like it would be a public wiki. We can give push access to 4 or 5 trusted people. The only thing this change would achieve is to make the publishing process far less painful, and thus encourage people to contribute to and improve our website. > And also, the current system where php is compiled ahead of time would not > be compatible with this (at least not without running the compile > somewhere).

The way the website is currently set up and edited is completely unsatisfactory, basically everything has to go through you. There is no reason it should be this difficult to edit and improve it, you are just discouraging potentially valuable contributions to the site by making the whole thing so awkward and bureaucratic.
