Hello all. It's been a while since I've shown my face around here, but
nevermind...

Times change, and I'm once again in possession of too much free time.
If travelsized CMS doesn't pan out, and if the server is capable of
running it, I would be quite happy to write a Python-based CMS (PHP is
really a nightmare). Of course, you need shell access on the server, a
recent version of python installed, mod_rewrite and Apache 2, but
given those rather narrow conditions, Python framework-based apps work
great; I have a few running sites at the moment.

Of course, this is probably overkill, and your server has a reasonable
chance of not meeting the requirements, but I'd thought I'd put in the
offer anyways. I seem to have become quite the Python fanatic in the
last few years, and hopefully this email isn't going to hurt anyone.
Don't look at me for PHP-based solutions, though; I've learnt my
lesson there.

Frameworks (of any sort) mean quick yet tailored development, and make
adding features a lot, lot easier. The big project I'm currently
working on has forums, wikis, user accounts and political simulation
all in one big site, and thanks to frameworks I can write a basic wiki
in less than a few hours, and forums in two days (BBCode is what gets
you). If all you want is screenshots, news and some static information
pages that's not very difficult; even WordPress satisfies that with
the Gallery plugin,

Just thought I'd offer. Good luck with libvisual in any case; eyecandy
is always a good thing ;)

Andrew
