I've said it before and I'll say it again...as a looooooong time user
of exim, the documentation, FAQ and website need to implement the same
systems other sites use. The method works, it's effective, and it's
very convenient when it's crunch time and you need answers quick. We
don't need to reinvent the wheel here.
PHP has amazing documentation and a great comment system. A clone of
that setup would serve all the purposes...provide a quick and easy way
to reach configuration directives, search through various concepts,
and provide fellow exim user advice. The spec PDF that ph10 created
of the docs was REALLY good...that'd be a wonderful alternative to the
online setup, especially for people who like to have docs in printed
form (not that any of us would print out the docs for every update
using company resources or anything...muahaha).
There's a zillion XHTML/CSS designs on oswd.org...some are so-so, some
are truly great designs. It's definitely a quick way to get a new
site.
I know mirrors are a concern, but a mirror concept is quite easy...we
just dump the database and the mirrors will grab that with each rsync
of the directory tree (dumps every 6 hours? 12? 24?). A simple
shell script can import the changes after it calls the rsync.
