In fact, PHP is quite always used in conjunction with mysql. Instead of
 storing information (menus, users, variables) in files, it's easier
 (and more efficient) to  store them in a mysql table.

So, if I understand you, I it should be perfect and great, even if it's
just a "technology preview" ? (I like this term :)
These are the features I propose to you :
- dynamic content creation (to avoir frames and add some little things)
- a web-based administration interface (to manage news, menus ...)
- pools
- fully featured documentation area (zwe was originally writen for a
documentation e-zine)
- fully CSS and XHTML compliance (maybe with some 'proprietary' mozilla
CSS attributes).
- helper-functions to ease page writing

Features in zwe, but maybe not useful (I think) :
- forums (we have good MLs)
- user accounts (maybe for manage rights for admins ?)
- parsing of fixed-format text files (NEWS files, AUTHORS, ...) <- not
in the original engine, I added it later.

I know, but a cute project can also have a great nuclear-powered
 website ;) Are there some Greepeace folks here ? :)

I just have one thing to say : I work for free ;)
But 285.000 EUR are 3560 Cwlinux displays :)

I think you'll have to wait for it a bit, but I promise you'll love it
(or at least I love it ;)

I'll first try to desing a fixed page with CSS/XHTML so you won't reject
the website because you don't like the desing. I'll mail when it's done.

Michael : In send you a tgz of 3 examples of zwe sites (just to see the
different styles that can be implemented). Put them in
test/zwe-examples if you want.

Bye !
