(It's probably me who's not keeping up with the web 2.0
database wet dream. It's so repetitive and soulless, 
and it bleeds into the content.)

There seems to be consensus that we must have a CMS.
I disagree, but I don't expect you guys to drop your plan.

Anway, 

Freebsd.org looks great both visually and structurally,
and it seems to be primarily '.html' pages, with meaningful,
short URLs.  (Human-readable - very KISS - I like it.)

I believe they keep their entire site in cvs. :)
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/www/en/

* The website structure and content is available, 
 with history. It's all public and relatively readable.

* Easy for developers with commit access.
  (Koki would have to learn how to. ;)

* No trendy tool dependencies, the data stands on its own

* The content needs no backing up. (FWIW.)

* It's probably harder to hack a server that primarily 
serves static content which is uploaded rather than 
edited in place. (Or pulled from cvs by the webserver.)

Hey, even PoorMan can serve it.... Should it come to that.
