OK, MoinMoin next.  We aren't seeking to perpetuate Amy's 1998-ish
design, but rather to migrate to a wiki.  So, it's good to know that 
Lighty will do PHP (I knew it would), but not actually useful for
MoinMoin.

If memory serves, the current site includes three CGI Perl scripts:
the voting script, the sponsor-spinner script, and WebFetch used for two
purposes (the front-page Web-scraper headlines feature, and SVLUG News
as reflected on both the front page and the cumulative News page).
There is also, of all things, a Linux Counter _Java_ applet on the Links
Farm page.

Hmm, darn it:   http://gemini.starshine.org/SVLUG/ is still offline
(that's the prototype), which is a small pity because it has the TODO 
list.  Basically, the plan was to get plain ol' MoinMoin up and running
_first_ with whatever is the minimum feasible customisations, and none
of the CGI or Java stuff.  Later, if we have time and interest, we can
implement those other tchochkes, if they're even worth the effort at
all.
