Hello all,

I am starting a project to convert the existing Smarty website
(http://smarty.php.net) into a fully SmartyLib driven site, with the
same looks, etc. There is not much point to it, but at least it gives
bragging rights and shows that we can eat our own dog food.

Before I start, does anyone have any suggestions of how I should do
things? Right now, nothing is database driven. We could leave it that
way, or make the news items database driven, or everything. What does
everyone think?

Also, if we choose to not to have it be database driven, should the
news articles be stuck in the templates, or in the PHP files that
assign variables to the templates? I ask because currently the news
articles are just stuck in the flat file.

Let me know of any comments, suggestions, and ideas you guys might have.

Thanks!
Karl
