[Pdweb] Pd web site architecture

[Nicolas Montgermont]

Before starting to work on this, could we consider upgrading plone?
What i'm seeing from the plone website, the 4 version seems much more 
easy to use both for admin and users,
it will be easier to manage content / and to improve layout / design.
Iohannes do you think there is a possiblity of a secure upgrading from 
the version we have now?
I mean with a backup somewhere, if it fails.

mmm true. Maybe we can have two "levels" here. A featured section that 
is no self promotion, and an "other projects" category where people can 
simply add their stuff?

I'll get a look. But i'm not sure if "wiki pages" are not a trap here, i 
mean which other specificities do they have?
