    Interesting URL about issues related to maintaining a large web site:

    "
    Building and maintaining a large-scale media site that
    performs quickly, reliably and takes advantage of the
    Web has turned into big business for a group of
    software companies (and associated integrators and
    consultants) that build large, custom (''packaged'')
    applications, often atop popular database systems,
    intended to bring order to an unruly process.
    "

    ...

    "
    The head of product development at one New
    York-based media site who has supervised development
    on both homegrown and packaged systems says:
    ''These programs are huge, expensive and about as
    useless and clumsy as you can imagine. Never again, I
    promise you.''
    "

    Another use for OHS/DKR technology?
