Someone just said, on one of the Frontier-related mailing lists, that he has 25,000 static sites that he'd like to import into "Frontier/Manila," and asked about the "easiest way" to do this.

Um... yeah. Sure.

Honestly, that had me laughing out loud. Not in a sarcastic or mean-spirited way, either... the whole thing is just too funny! I assume that he's going to run these sites on the Japanese Earth Simulator or some equivalent machine. And that's just the beginning! Who the heck has 25,000 web sites anyway (besides the big hosting services)?

What a funny question. :-)

Today I trained (crash-course-style) a client's webmaster in the art and science of creating a Conversant site. This is the first time in many months that I've walked someone through the process from the very beginning, and it's helped me to more clearly see some of the challenges that new users face.

Now I'm inspired to write. I'd love to convert this energy into some new documentation, but Conversant's impending release is weighing heavily on my mind, so I'm afraid this burst will pass, unfulfilled.

I told Greg a year ago that I was hoping to write one page of documentation every day, but that only lasted about three days.

So much to do, so little time.
