[development] To boldly go where no CMS went before

Hi,

I would like to draw fellow developers -- and even more importantly,  
reviewers -- attention to http://drupal.org/node/67349 : SQLite port.

Already someone tested with a NAS and apparently this would let us Drupal  
run on sub-$100 devices, like Linksys NSLU2 .

The possibilites this opens are simply mind boggling: for example, it  
would be possible for Drupal to run literally out of the box -- you unpack  
the box, plug in power and Ethernet and you have your own CMS. It will be  
slower than your eight core server in the datacenter, yes, but if Nokia  
thinks it's a good idea to develop a web server with mod_python for some  
of their phones  
http://research.nokia.com/research/projects/mobile-web-server/phone-software.html  
then surely there is some good in this.

Regards

NK
