I'd like to point out one feature of the current website which may not
be obvious.

A single xml file, which creates website content, is used to produce
three types of output: (1) the structured php which we use on the website
(2) "monolithic" html files, less flexible, but which we distribute on
the disk image with our binary distribution, (3) pure text files, some
of which are stored in various locations on our CVS site for use as
README files and so on.

So, while I understand the advantages of a simpler system for quick 
additions to the site, I would be reluctant to give up the power of
our current setup.

As with many pieces of Fink, this structure is something we inherited from
Fink's founder, Christoph Pfisterer, who did a remarkable job of constructing
the xml system which runs our website today.
