Depending on size and load of the system in question, this might not
scale. Especially from the database point of view. It appears that
netbsd.se contains something which is relatively similar to a web
forum, a gallery, a blog, and other things, which in turn might contain
a large amount of entries. SQLite, as its name suggests, is not
designed for larger databases, so it might not be what is desired.

From the original description it seems too that this contest is not
about redesigning the entire website, but only the appearance. It seems
that the idea is to keep all of the =ABapplication code=BB intact while
changing the style. I might be misinterpreting that one though.

Joomla is known as one of the most insecure content management systems
in the world. It should not ever be considered for a real life project.
If in doubt, read Bugtraq.
