Hi Massimo, Phil,
Is can use as model:

I really don't care much for html generators when it's so easy to
write from
scratch and have virtually no vulnerabilities. And frameworks that
make it
easy for you to create a web site make it easy for other people to
compromise
my server.
Every single compromise on my server in the last 10 years has come
from some
stupid web framework or idiotic web cgi script.
Come on. html is simple to write. Do you use a code generator for
Harbour? The
Harbour language is a hundred times more complex than html.
If we are going to settle on a html code generator, I want it to be
open
source and GPL so anyone can install it. There are an abundance of
those, so
pick one. And no frameworks, like Mambo or PHPBB or Joomla. Those
are the
worst for being compromised.
Yes, please no 'code generators' if possible, nor Drupal and friends.
We need some simple, but well formed and cleaned .html files, not
a full blown portal motor and other fluffs.
We can go on forever talking rounds around the 'proper' tool, but
what we'd need is plain CLEANING work in our current website, instead
of words.
How many pages do we have or need? 10? We don't need CGI, scripts,
forms, animation, ads, just some text, links and a few images, maybe
some .css.
I don't think we need any heavy tools to manage that.
I also suggest Using Perspective As wiki who not require database
so is
good for hosting with good editing capability http://www.high-beyond.com/
or web can choice other from http://www.wikimatrix.org/
Perspective requires the .net runtime. This assumes a windows
server. My
server is running Linux
Also, MediaWiki requires PHP 5.x and currently this server is stuck
at PHP 4.3
due to a customer requirement.
That's a problem.
Anyone able and wanting to host the Harbour website?
If anyone wants to host the wiki, I can easily point a dns entry to
it. i
agree with Viktor that MediaWiki is an excellent choice.
In the mean time, when I gave you the keys to our web site, I
created a
complete backup of it, so feel free to wipe it out and start over.
We can
always get back to where we came from as a last resort.
But first, unless you agree to code html from scratch, we need to
agree on a
html generator. I like this one a lot. It's free, open source and it's
wysiwyg. No framework. Works on Linux, Windows and Macintosh. Well
supported.

If Massimo can find any tool, which can help him to create
clean and _standard_ standalone static .html pages, the tool
can be pretty much anything, as we can most probably
continue editing them (if the code is indeed clean and standard).
I also prefer NVU as a mid-heady editor, over other proprietary
and/or payware stuff. I personally use 'nb2', but my .html
writing needs are very basic.
[ As for a web standard, I prefer XHTML 1.1, but that's
again something we can be flexible with at this point. ]
For .html correctness http://validator.w3.org/ is our friend.
Brgds,
Viktor
