Plone can be pretty too. It is based on top of Zope, and is therefore
all Python. This would give us a chance to use (or write) appropriate
plugins to do things like events and what have you.

Yes. I don't forsee any major problems with moving the homepages to
another machine that mounts home. Unless people have put in any
specifically evil workarounds to execute code on mussel and crunch
dynamic content into static pages for delivery off mermaid... or
anything like that.

Assuming we kept the same apache setup, which would be the idea.
