The non-commercial shop software.

Can a shop be driven by a privacy-respecting static website with close to no server code and be operated by normal people?

Let me explain how new articles make it into that shop

1. see the trivial html form content/sachen-spenden that has dump.cgi as action,
2. that just dumps the form data into a timestamped file to a webserver-writeable location,
3. take each dump, generate a new article-page and create an email in an imap folder. spende.sh. Triggered by cron,
4. manually move the email into an 'publish' imap folder,
5. make all articles from the 'publish' folder visible on the start page. online.sh. Triggered by cron,
6. keep everything up to date via make
