First, my wife is not feeling well lately so I'm doubling as a full-time
nurse :(
Anyway.
I looked at php4 and it looks like something I can sink my teeth into and be
fairly productive (the key word) quickly.
Looking at TEI, I am not extremely convinced that it would be good for us,
since no one else is really doing what we do, and because it is really a way
to render paper (book) formats in xml, which is far from what we are really
doing.
I'll finish the contributor (author/editor/etc) thing this week, and then
will get into the articles themselves in earnest.
Also... if an article is fairly long, and has multiple sections, do I want
to treat the sections as separable and linkable? What I am looking for is:
section 1
section 2
section 3
etc
each being callable as a separate sub document. Then, can a document include
sections writeen by other people? This would make the thing quite modular...
etc... Just a thought, though, for version 2.
On the distributed design:
I think that a few fast computers might be less efficient than a lot of
older computers, as long as the maintenance and administration of those
machines is also distributed (meaning I don't have to do it).
