Fixed Some Hosting

I just talked to our CEO and got fixed some virtual server hosting, all compliments of the firm. Nice.

I'm planning to set up a "community website" there. This would mean an online user manual, forums, some news and a blog replacing this temporary (*cough*) one. To give the NIH syndrome a whole new dimension, I'm planning to write these from bottom up on top of LightFrame. This serves a dual purpose: For one, it would showcase what the framework can do. I have even planned to have those components open sourced, providing them as "snap-in plugins". But this would also be (another) real world use case, making sure that LightFrame lacks nothing a non-trivial website requires.

After all, it would be quite hypochritical to claim LightFrame to be worthy of the developers' time, but not using it myself, should it suck.

But more on this later on. This is a totally separate project; I have 800 lines of PHP code to rewrite first.
