sorry for not being present
and after all in this period i am not able to do anything on the code.
for sure static site, multilanguage, a security audit is crucial.

i think two other issues need to be solutioned soon:
the first is database and query optimization that espe said he would do, but need a db/query expert
the second is understanding why sf-active is taking up so much load on ahimsa because ahimsa is a critical-traffic test situation and can help us test and solve problem so that the software works both in low traffic situation and in high traffic situation

another thing would be making it even simpler templatization and graphic personalization (like all other cms do :) and the fucking thumbnailing system :)))

unfortunately i cannot work on any of these things in this period
but i will try to be at least in the irc channel often
