IMHO we can get wide content just using RSS, without anything more. We should 
avoid complexity and duplication to reduce maintenance workload.

IMHO htaccess should not be turned on at any location, due to:
  * it makes Apache slower, and
  * it is not needed under the current webapp architecture.

It was discussed at [1] thread.

The project has not large transfers yet.

The project does not keep offers in files but in a relational data base. It 
was discussed at [2] thread.

Anyhow, IMHO it is good we follow discussing about it if it is needed. Please, 
expose any disagreement with its rationale.
