But has the downside that we rely to the existence and friendlyness of
another firm – with the danger of beeing in the same situation like with
SF in a couple of years. Ok ... traffic can be high, if a lot of people
suddenly discover the special qualities of Gambas. But normally it
increases step by step. And I do not think the website creates really
much traffic.

Can these pages been delivered as www.gambas-basic.org?

Static is cool :-) – unhackable.

It is already there :-) ... in the repo :-) ... in my repo :-)

Like Hugo and such?
