</div>Do not reply to this list unless you have very, very well thought out answers. I am experimenting with alternates for three years now and my stance is now "change? hmmmm not so sure" -- do not rush your answer. I do not want another iteration of "let's switch to foo RCS", we had this discussion too many times.<br>

Instead of switching, I would like to call out to the developer community -- how can we make it easier to use these systems? Can we offer a web upload for example for themers? FTP maybe, somehow?<br>

<br>But the rest of it is to also search for solutions for site building and the eternal quest for separating content from configuration, problems in deployment, etc.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
