I'm not so sure about this.

Why not use github Pages and scrape the github repository for necessary data? It's all harmless recipe stuff anyway. Non-github users could be asked to use e-mail to place recipes, and can be informed that they can use markdown. Or even present a web form that sends an encrypted e-mail for them, employing that wicked JS textarea enhancer we saw the other day, for markdown syntax or even allow haml.

    Re: {url_block}/new

    Recipe Name: {name}
    Date: {extracted_from_email}
    Subject: 
    
    {haml_recipe_body}
The github haml pages can have links station'd at the top or bottom to pre-fetch categories, previous, and next pages. The github Page Index can include a JS that builds the UI of the site via DOM manipulation, based on a lightweight Web app hosted elsewhere and called in via ajax.

Summary: Total MVR (minimum viable repository).
