I am all for the rewrite too, just as I explained on IRC to you.

For your note. The site should be rendered correctly under following browsers:
  - Firefox 2
  - Firefox 3
  - Opera 9
  - Internet Explorer 7
  - Internet Explorer 6 (I know it's PITA, but about 1/3rd of our IE
visitors still use it)
as a bonus you could consider Safari, which will cover Konqueror and iPhone.

CMS. Does it imply that we will edit the content in Web browser? If so
then I am worried about how to keep copy in SVN.

Also I would like to see your code deployed somewhere on staging, so I
could look at WIP without installing it locally.
