Looks great. Only thing I see is the tag comparison needs to be case-insensitive.

Ahem. Adding a couple of lowercasing functions...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hokay.

Know what we need, as more people dive into the coding pool? CVS¹ or something like. It was bad enough managing versions when it was just me, but as the holdup with me rolling out Jon's changes attests, n is larger than one, and it's going to get messy.

Can anyone run a CVS server?

¹ No, not the pharmacy chain.

Can anyone run a CVS server?

I know how. I don't have a server that can host it.

Yeah, me too.

Does the host of buffistas.org allow ssh or telnet access? If so, you might be able to host CVS here.

There is ssh. But we don't have rights to install anything.

CVS is pretty standard on Unix boxes. Might be installed already.

They don't list it as a service, but I'll ask.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

If it's not already installed, it can't hurt to ask if you're allowed to install it.

t edit Is it radically different from a CGI script? 'Cause you don't have to 'specially ask to install those.
