Initially there isn't a requirement that techdocs and the main website use the
same backend, as long as they can be given some type of unified look/feel
with the main site.  AFAICR no one has ever clamored to translate the
articles up on the techdocs website (though we're certainly not opposed to
it, just no one has really wanted to)   So multilingualism shouldn't be a
stumbling block for techdocs. One thing that we do need is the ablility for
users comments on articles, is there any provision for that?  Another thing
that could come up would be user articles submitted in pdf form (I just added
one yesterday),  is there a provision for that?

OK, if you can send us (or me at least) a url I'd be interested in browsing
around and adding an article or two.
