[kaffe-siteadmin] Shining up the website

[Jim Pick]

Awesome!

The current web pages desperately need to be redone.

Server-wise, I'd like to set it up in a Xen session.  I've got lots of 
space on my new server.

The only comment I have about using PHP is just that we won't be able to 
run the website on Kaffe (eg. using Tomcat or some other web server).  I 
  always thought it would be sort of cool if the project was self-hosting.

What do you think about using some sort of a CMS?  Or do you prefer 
static web pages?

Cheers,

  - Jim
