Will this mirror to a server that only serves static content without
problems, as the current site requires?

Hi,
Regarding static content:
Assuming the content is being exported from bircolage to disk (static!)
I do not see any other way than to scan the directory in order to build the
xml tree.

It is properly me, but I am not to found if exporting the files to disk.
Don't you guys this it would be better to read the content directly from
bircolage database?

Regards,
Gevik.

You've obviously never seen the Bricolage database.  Keep in mind it's
basically a metamodel which the user uses to define their own, sometimes
recursive or even fully circular, structures. You cannot "query" the
entire structure, nor does Bricolage try to do so.

You are right,
I am totally new to this Bricolage thing. I have to do some reading anyways.
But will get there eventually :)
