Sure.

Might be good to ask if a module called usability.kde.org could be set up
though -- that was done for edu.kde.org and it probably means that it's
easier to separate from the rest of www/.

BTW -- is it OK about me going on holiday on Thursday -- I won't be able to
do vast quantities on it until 14th August ;)

Without trying to sound pushy, but if Bernhard Rosenkraenzer
(bero@redhat.com) was able to host the domain, we could probably have
usability.kde.org easily.

I hope it does :) I can't work without PHP ;)

Disclaimer: I know nothing about MySQL etc, and little about advanced PHP
scripting.

I'll start building a skelton page in the existing KDE format. You should
be able to make something of that and the stuff from the old site.
