Indeed, this is why edevelop.org exists.  It provides facilities that  
were previously not viable on enlightenment.org.  We also didn't have  
control of the DNS at that time either.

I agree with Eugen.  Ruby on Rails is the way to go, it provides a  
framework that almost any web developer in the future can look at and  
go "Ok, Ruby on Rails, I know how this is structured."  It's also  
very nice to code in, and there are man ways to provide content.   
There are some pseudo-CMS that provide just the minimal framework to  
allow content to be added so that they don't get in the way of the  
rest of your code such as: http://radiantcms.org/

I have nothing against Andy, but personally I can't stand using XSM.   
It's unintuitive and cumbersome to work with.  In my experience it's  
also been painfully slow.  I don't think it's even worth discussing  
going back to the old CVS/HTML setup.  The point is to encourage  
_casual_ contribution, not to make it hard, which it seems like  
that's all we've done so far.

The benefit of using Ruby on Rails is that we can leverage a lot of  
code that exists as gems or plugins but still build it exactly the  
way we need.  We'll be able to provide all of features of get-e.org  
and edevelop.org in one place, in a coherent way.  I would love to  
help with this.
