Well, as a back-end programmer, what I "discern" is a lot of gobblety
gook. I'm using Web2py because I have the backend experience to do the
business logic, etc. and want web "front end/gui" interfaces, so I
want to "subcontract" all the web stuff that I don't know (or at least
not yet) to the expert (Web2py). :-)

Thanks for that list!
As long as things generally work (though it sounds as if the menu
might not, I'll have to try that and find out) I'll be fine.

I'm looking to deploy a little helper web-app in a corporate
environment that's pretty locked down.
