many bitter experiences - security is a nightmare for php apps. Take a look at the number of security updates wordpress has per *month* - more than django has had in 6 *years*. http://wordpress-security.net/wordpress-software-security-updates/ <<<--- do you want to live on the edge like this? Most LUG sites run php, maintained by 'experts' - they are regularly spammed or cracked even when the most draconian lockdown/captchas are implemented. Volunteers just do not have the time to spend half their nights applying security patches. <quote> Important note about updating Themes: If you have made **any** changes to your theme (tweaking things in style.css or changes to the template files), the changes will be overwritten when the theme is updated. Be ready to re-do the changes after updating. <unquote> what fun! -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves http://lawgon.livejournal.com/ _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
