I recommend to avoid coding envorinments that encourage speedy and 
"sloppy" coding with little or no care for security.  I am no expert in 
that field, but would personally steer away from PHP, Ruby on rails and 
Django.

I recommend to aim for extreme efficiency in power concumption and 
memory use.  Without having done any actual analysis on the matter, it 
seems ideal to me to favor precompilation of static web pages over the 
extremely common rendering on-the-fly from a general-purpose database.

Specifically, I would recommend Ikiwiki!


The FreedomBox Foundation uses Ikiwiki for their website.

Ikiwiki comes with very few "themes" but visual style can be radically 
changed: http://kobenhavnsdelebiler.dk/ (Freel free to examine its
