Re: [Lightningbug-devel] updates/new demo

awesome, jamie.  this looks great.  nice and clean.  i'm happy to help
with the cron-job wipe/restore, if you want to talk about it.  Seems
like we should put up a "site down for maintenance" message, flush the
db, reload from a base db, and then remove the "site down for
maintenance" message.  hrm.  we could auto-modify the config file, i
suppose, but that seems messy.

here's a proposal:

we declare a specific filename (e.g. <lb-install-path>/no-access.html)
and if that file exists, it gets displayed instead of anything else --
no db hits, no nothing.

then the cron-job just has to move a file into place, do the db
tear-down and rebuild, and then move the file back out of the way.

what do you think?

peace,

PS
i touched up the vetter-demo invite page to spell "vet" correctly :)
