[Pdweb] Pd web site architecture

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

It would be nice to have plone upgraded.  That's really up to IOhannnes, I think, since I think its only possible for him to do the work, given he manages that server.

About a totally open exhibition, perhaps we could have some kind of feed of people's projects, perhaps, where anyone can throw anything.

And I think it still makes sense.  Then, there are other areas for self-promotion.  As for that section, it doesn't seem to be used much, so it could go awy.

I think it'll be a lot more work for everyone to manage the restrictions than just handle the very occasional bad edits.  If it does become a problem, we can revisit that.
