Hmmmm.... you mean there are other Zopers in Israel besides Moshe Zadka. :-) (Just kidding). It's just that I had a relatively bad experience with Zope and Squishdot in the past at eskimo and we've sworn not to depend on it again.

OK. I'll use MediaWiki for now. In any case, I'd like to create the static HTML site with Latemp (http://web-cpan.berlios.de/latemp/) which is a CMS based on Web Meta Language and some CPAN modules I or other have written. I suppose that converting the site to Python won't be too hard once someone writes the appropriate logic (templates, navigation menus, etc.) in Python. But I'm used to Latemp, and that's what I'll use. Afterwards, one can write a Python or whatever script to convert everything to the new framework.
