But surely one of the key problems with the current site is that it is
not well structured? That makes it hard to navigate, especially for
beginners - probably the key group to attract. In my opinion, the site
structure has to come first. If the directory structure fits then that's
great; if not then it needs mapping to the site structure by some other
means.
I know CVS is a complete pain for moving things around but that
shouldn't be allowed to limit the site. If we **really** don't want any
form of site -> directory structure mapping then perhaps a move to
Subversion would be a good idea? It's got Python bindings you know ;-).
