Hi NC and all folks, 
 
Thanks for suggestion. 
 
Static output is critical for me because many users, college students, 
do not have access to either PHP or MySQL in their college campus/ 
department personal webspace. Most universities only permit pure 
static content (HTML, image, flash, etc) for student web space. 
 
FTP/SFTP/SSH access is a MUST-HAVE  feature. Since we want a central 
installation that supports students from all departments.
