For me, the biggest issue would be maintaining the integrity of links, both
inside and out of the site, to the articles and media on the site.

At the weekend I was engaged in a "User Experience Survey" (chatting about
the site in the pub :p ) and their main concern was that they could not
find articles they were searching for.

That's partly a problem common to all websites that don't use google
search, but we risk aggravating people if links are broken and it's not
then dead easy to find what they're looking for.

We've got good stuff on the site, but folk need to be able to get to it
quickly.
