Well, I wanted to avoid any sort of DB b/c this needs to run on a hosted box for somone and they requested it be as self contained as possible. Also, they requested the ability to be able to zip up the whole thing and move it whenever they wanted. I figure if it's just one .cgi and a bunch of .html files it couldn't be all that hard, right?

Doing the Freshmeat thing as we speak. I was planning on just writing it all from scratch for the fun of it, but after sketching out the idea I thought it was so easy that I decided to see what MSA did so horribly wrong - that had come up in here before. I just got spooked when I saw how similar what he was doing was to what I had thought up myself...
