It would be even more useful to use subdomains like user2007.r-project.org so that we could host the content at a site other than on the R server (this would make it much easier for me, as I won't need to change the site at all to work on the r-project server). I'm happy to advise on how to do this, if you (Fritz?) have access to your DNS records.
