Hmm, I had never heard of rest2web before, it seems like an interesting
idea. I've never bothered to learn reST, though.

With any PHP application, I really want to see how serious the
developers are about security before considering it for usage.

I have used TWiki on a few websites and like the speed I can create
content with it. Wikis do have their shortcomings, though, and I'd
actually like to learn something new - as long as learning it doesn't
take too much time considering the deadline.

As for a blog, I already set one up at http://www.teroajk.net/blog/ and
the alternatives there don't seem very useful to build a site like this,
IMHO.

So I think rest2web could be worth a try. Learning the basics of reST
shouldn't take very long and I believe it to be a useful skill to have.


Just to let everyone know, I'll be away from Saturday to next week's
Tuesday. My wife has her (very short) holiday and we're making a short
trip during which I won't have access to computers.
