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!

Cheers
Mohit.
