----------------------- Well, I think a we can say that a framework for "Non Content Oriented Web Apps" is something that can help in (*) creating N tier data aware web applications (*) creating data-aware controls (forms etc.). (*) managing different data sources transparently(ZODB,MySQL,PostGreSQL, etc). (*) de-coupling UI, Business Logic and Data Sources from each other. (*) provide transaction management facilities(am I asking too much). -----------------------
I think there is something more to the above points than just a construction of web interfaces like forms etc. I never said that it should be something really big(like Zope). I have looked at Quixote and is really cool. But I think we need something more than just a forms processing libary.

I agree in an multi-tier application UI is the last layer issue, but the point here is that there should be some thing that can make connection of web controls to various data sources easy. Of course this is just UI issue of many others that are not UI issues. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
