That's good enough. It shouldn't be a problem to shift toward the more
practical side.

Ok...well...there are two types of files, av_*.py and all other *.py (they are
executable). The av_*.py files contain classes and other functions that are
used by the other *.py files. And the other *.py files are actually run on
the server (as CGI scripts) to create the content which is then sent to the
client's browser. The 'other *.py' files are fairly independent of each
other, so it is up to the backend files (av_*.py) to check user validity,
etc. That information is passes to the scripts via the URL in most cases (as
session id) or if a form has to be used the data, along with the session id
is sent via the POST method.
Eventually, I'd like to make the whole site to run on something like
mod_python. This should speed up the page generation. I tried to modify it
slightly, but it just wasn't working right. So, I decided to first clean up
the source, and finish up some more functionality.
As for what you can work on, I have to say: anything. Basically, just pick
something from the TODO list, and work on it.

Anyone interested in having fun coding, or just learning to work in python, or
both ;-) is a good candidate. :-)
Thanks for your interest, and sorry again for replying so late.
Jeff.
