Sigh. I was just trying to do what I *thought* was consensus. I *thought*
that we agreed that we needed php3, because otherwise editing the navbar to
add a file requires editing each file, etc. And that nazgul didn't have the
power to handle, say, a slashdotting, so we needed to transfer to one of the
sites that offered to host us, and it seemed like Asger had settled on
sunsite.dk.
As one who's been making a bunch of small changes to the web pages, I have
to say I would prefer php3. From what I remember, we got a whole bunch of
offers to host web sites (or mirrors). Surely some of them have php3?
(Actually, I have no idea how standard it is...)
Nazgul has php3, so it's fine to use php3 if the lyx home page is on
nazgul,; we just need to make sure we have enough mirrors.
And it certainly seems to make sense to have both sites on one computer, if
that computer can handle it.
Here's a question---if php3 creates html on the server side and then sends
those to your client (which is the reason that the clients don't need php3),
shouldn't it be possible to "mirror" by downloading the html pages instead of
ftp'ing the php3 pages? OK, it's probably *not* possible (and you would lose
the ability to do the navbar customization) but it would be pretty cool.
Anyway, I'm willing to do whatever has to be done, but whatever the solution
is, it would be nice to get the web site under cvs soon, for the mental
health of those of us who can't stand typos.
