The point is that I also think that a web interface would be the best |
14 |
solution. It is just not quite what I am looking for and there already |
15 |
seemed to be efforts on organizing the mentoring. That is the reason why |
16 |
I would like to discuss a second idea. I did not feel stomped on my |
17 |
toes, it just all went a bit too fast :) |
18 |
You have been very helpful and responsive. Please keep it up! |

I personally would make use of zope as a CMS. For those who don't know |
39 |
it: It supports scripting in restricted Python, a very nice templating |
40 |
language, and an easy to use database (Zope Object Database). ZODB is an |
41 |
object database that uses Python's pickle module for serialization. What |
42 |
are your thoughts about a NOSQL database? |
