The sites are static, but they are generated from a subversion tree. So no, you can't "connect to svn" from the site. But look at www.apache.org which has lots of "dynamic" content tho it is also uses the CMS. > So having a sign up sheet or a > locate the closest OOo support center. I can't make that with Subversion. It isn't the point of the main website to provide signup sheets. That's something a link to a wiki page can provide. Finding the closest OOo support center is something a CGI script can do that has access to read-only data on disk.
