the current bricolabs website is running on plone, which a monster of
complexity.. but drupal is just a wee bit smaller.

there was this trend coming up 10 years ago to use huge amounts of CPU
and RAM to serve websites (and suddenly everyone needed a quad server
for that, rather than a good web designer), but those times are over
now, finally! been ranting about it for long myself...

so considering that contributions come online on bricolabs only via
facilitators that login and paste content, I'd propose to use just
plain html (much inclusive, people have learned that long ago!) and
maybe some js skinning using things like bootstrap
http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/

then we can basically serve the website from a hidden wifi box,
something taped inside a water tank in the bathroom of some internet
cafe in Karachi, for instance...
