I'm currently reading a book entitled "Radical Simplicity", which
happens to be written by one of my cousins:

As we are discovering, Drupal is not radical simplicity. Earlier today
we had an impromptu chat about that in the webteam room:

http://logs.jabber.org/webteam@conference.jabber.org/2008-05-12.html

In particular, we talked about the possibility of scrapping Drupal
altogether and simply using XHTML and server-side includes, or at most
XML+XSLT, to generate the jabber.org website. This is what we do for the
xmpp.org site and we never have a problem there. Is the jabber.org
really all *that* different or special that it requires a full CMS?

Your thoughts are welcome. :)
