Hi Dan, I think that's good to hear! The site that I'm planning is going to start with a few technical manuals translated into HTML in perhaps 2 different languages. I'd say that I'm thinking of about 4 - 6 manuals x 200 pages each x 2 languages = approximately 2000 pages. So, naturally, I'm a bit worried but I think aggressive caching will solve this problem for me. But right now, I'm spending some more time of my time trying to figure out how I can automate the loading of these pages into the database. I read an earlier thread about updating the data by using ActiveRecord outside Rails/ Radiant and that seems to be one way. I don't expect the content to change too much too frequently, so a slightly slow update will work for me! The more serious issue is in converting the PDF manual into the HTML while still maintaining the semantic meaning of the content. After that's done, I need to work on finding a way to let people log in and add comments about the content - so, then I'll be looking out at other extensions. Anyhow, I'm barely learning to walk with Radiant, so things are still a bit of a way off, also because this part is out of curiosity right now and not any specific work project. It took me 45 minutes to get to see my "Hello World" page with Radiant when I started with an "empty" project, so there's a bit of a way to go. But anyway, the time was not wasted - I'm almost done putting the steps (simple in retrospective) into my blog entry so that someone else can benefit!
