This is something the alioth admins dont really like very much, "this" being 
deploying custom written webapps. And I agree. The risk of running 
unmaintained code with security problems one day is quite high...

A better solution would IMO be to switch the website to ikiwiki instead. 
ikiwiki is nicely supported by alioth. see

cheers,
