I was (in fact, still am) tracking a flight from Paris to Mumbai in real time - https://uk.flightaware.com/live/flight/JAI123/history/20170606/0935Z/LFPG/VABB

A few minutes earlier, just off the coast of Mumbai (~ 150 miles out), the tracker showed the flight doing a 360 loop; it still shows on the map at the URL above, and then it resumed on course.

I've tracked flights before, but never encountered anything like this. I wonder what gives.

I have been contracted to build a simple, stupid (yet somewhat powerful and not lame) hosted CMS.

I have to code it with PHP/MySQL (and JavaScript/AJAX as needed).

It has to be capable of building small, mainly catalog/brochure sites, sans a lot of bells and whistles. Ease of use is the most important criteria.

I am wondering whether to pick up an open source project and mod it or build from scratch.

All suggestions welcome.
