I will elaborate if needed. My answer is the same as the answer to "Does PHP work on publicfile?". If we're going to go dynamic, let's make the decision to go dynamic first, and list what we want. Obviously, this only applies to the master web server, not mirror sites, who'll simply have links to dynamic content on the master web server. If we do decide to go dynamic, I'll probably beat up all the people who suggest PHP, and suggest we use Zope instead. At the moment, I'd prefer to go for one of the many cgi-based search engines that don't involve messing with PHP.
