customise as in maybe interfacing it with an RDBMS - otherwise it is dead easy to add new apps - and there are zillions of them. > 2. There are no good CMS softwares written in Python other than Plone yes, as far as I know. Incidentally this is not a mere academic discussion for me. I am engaged in a major war in Chennai LUG about what kind of website is needed. One side wants drupal, the other side says that drupal has too much bloat and too many unwanted features and it is better to have a simple site with minimal features. So we have two sites as demos and the users have to choose between them. One in drupal. The other in django. Both with minimal features. The problem arose because the old site was in drupal and it got cracked and all the old data was lost. you can see the two sites at http://demo.ilugc.org.in and http://demo.ilugc.in this unfortunate blog post would have tilted a lot of votes against me - fortunately the attention span of the average php/drupal phanbhoy is minimal and no one noticed it. the difference between the two sites is that the django site has only what is seen - the other one has a zillion features, all of them disabled. I leave it to you to guess which is which. So why only one python CMS? Mainly because most developers (as opposed to weekend warriors) can so easily make sites *precisely* suited to the needs in python, that no one realy needs a CMS with a million unused features. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Project Officer NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
