A series of weblog articles?

The fact that the data is in {my|pg}sql tables and not in ext2fs files
does not mean that upgrading is inherintly easier. if the weblog vendor
changes some aspects of the format of the stored data between versions
then the pgrade process can be just as painful.

As others have mentioned, php-nuke is notorious for its attitude to
security issues.
There is a Hebrew version that forked not long ago (dotkof).
Actually I don't like this attitude of forking a separate Hebrew version:
I believe that if a program is written reasonably well, then there
shouldn't be a big problem contributing the required changes for Hebrew
translation to the mainstrwam maintaners (if it is not written well
enough: stay out of it!!!). I have partially tested this a couple of
monthes ago.
Also note that php-nuke offers many "toys", and one should keep in mind
which of those things contribute to the site and which just complicate it.
