[wp-hackers] Static content plugin

[Moises Kirsch]

Most people (in the forums) are looking for ways to create something 
like an "About" page as part of wordpress and I think that this would 
be a cool future because you could manage the whole website from WP.

But as many people have said it might be better to keep this out of the 
scope of wordpress. Thats why I sent an email asking for ideas, 
opinions, comments and even rants :)
