We have kind of a de facto no-Java standard in infrastructure.  This is
partially because none of us have had good experiences running apps in
java and partially because we have noone with Java programming
experience to fix things if we need to.  If you had some people to give
to us to work on maintaining the server we might be able to work out
something similar to how zikula is being run for the docs deploy.  But
that doesn't sound like the case :-(
