with the current state of the gtk.org machine and limited available HD space,
i'd not dare to change the web system for www.gtk.org. the Gimp project has
cleared the necessary money for setting up a new machine, Manish Singh is
supposed to be setting that up at some point and migrate the current gtk.org
machine contents (websites, homes, ftp area, etc.) over to it.
once that has been accomplished we can look into moving gtk.org to a CMS,
given that there's no migration deadline for that yet though, i doubt
CMS migration discussions have much merit for the moment.
