Okay, so... what's the actual benefit of migrating www.gnucash.org to a
CMS?  Right now we can easily update the website remotely, have
translations, images, etc.  And it doesn't require Linas to do much
maintenance work.  The content is quazi-static, so it really doesn't
need a lot of updates.  It's not like the application is changing it's
look at feel every couple months!
