Re: [SMARTY] New Smarty Website

Hi!

Is this really worth your time? What will be gained after the transfer?
Better management? Better funxtionality? IMHO Smarty website is great
and needs no general improvement. I am affraid that after the rewrite
there will be a period when only 50% or less of the original contents
are available and site will lack functionality.
OR to save the time use an already-available Smarty-driven framework or
a CMS system.

But is it really so bad now? Smarty website has everything I want from it.

If you want to create a website extensively using Smarty perhaps it
would be better to create sth absolutely new.
