Dear List, I'm currently involved in a project for building en entirely new site. The choice of our informatics-advisor is Liferay. I now volunteered to try to convince him, that "Django" is the better choice. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Liferay, and I'm still fairly new to Django as well. I know that these are two completely different "systems".
To be a bit more specific about what is wanted (what we really need is another topic): -JSR-168 (or similar specification) and SOA; -Capable to handle more than one programming language in data activities as well as in application activities; -Independent of Hardware, Software, programming language, operating system (as much as possible) Has some sort of a software library which is expandable and has already enough basic business logics in a framework to quickly develop a new application on top of it; -Has a web services kind of API to the external components, so the independency to any environment is as low as possible; -Easy authority structures preferable via an external LDAP/X.500 system; -Editorial capabilities (separation for writing, checking, publishing and maintaining); -Capable to automatically deal with the differences between the web browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari, etc.); -Able to (automatically) synchronize (and converting) data if these data’s are used and/or distributed over more than one database; -Relatively easily to backup; -Relatively easily to maintain. I'm well aware that there are many things mixed up, not belonging to the question of "using Django or not", but I do not know how to put it simpler, because the mentioned points above are the "cracking ponts" to choose "something". Does anyone have experience which she/he is willing to share with me? If there is something other than Django that fits these "needs", I'm very open for a hint, too.
