Good point.

By "on-site pages" I assume you mean admin webforms/cgi's?

One thing that this format does though is sorta put us in a software
development mode.  TST is basically a code freeze on new features for the
entire site (because it's one module).  Would be be better off making
modules for each "part" of the site?  Kinda like what you did with the
bizfinder.  Some ideas:

BizFinder
Article Submission 
Question Submission
News Submission
Review Submission (review books, software packages, hardware, etc)
Site Search (maybe this should be broken up more?)
Admin (pages that we use to manage/maintain the site...)
Main (if each section is a spoke in the site, this would be the hub)

Also, note that we'd no longer have a "cgi" module, each module above
would integrate CGI's, static html, forms, images, etc. as well as admin
specific forms/CGI's.
