So you're saying that instead of rewriting it in Smalltalk, we should
rewrite it in PHP?

Bear in mind that it isn't just a bunch of static pages—it's not hugely
sophisticated, but it's not trivial either. No matter what we do, it'll
take some time and effort to update and maintain. Personally I'd rather do
that work in a language  that doesn't make my eyes bleed. Perhaps the web
team feels the same.
