+1 on the portability of apps. We're doing something very similar for our client projects.
Since moving to Django we have: - increased our cash flow by being able to hammer out more "small-ish" projects in a shorter amount time - decreased our dev time -- we're finding ourselves waiting on clients more so than before - reduced server maintenance/security patches -- no more maintaining multiple installs of Wordpress or Mambo etc... the time saved not having to wrestle with multiple installs of apps (especially heavily modified OS projects) is a dream come true. Make the switch. After you get the hang of it you're life will be *much* more enjoyable ;-) On 7/20/06, Ian Holsman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On 21/07/2006, at 11:22 AM, Adrian Holovaty wrote: > > > > (1) Portable apps across projects architecture.
