After doing some explorations, I highly recommend looking at Zope for
myhdl.org. I've been looking at content management systems, including
MediaWiki, phpBB, Drupal, Wordpress, and Zope. So far, I think Zope offer=
s
the most potential.

Zope seems more fundamental than all the others. Since modules can be
downloaded and/or created for it, it can incorporate all their
functionality.

In fact, my friend told me a Zope-based site could even run all those
other pre-existing components under one umbrella. Last, but certainly not
least, Zope is based on Python, and not nasty, C-like PHP.

Here's but one site someone did using Zope as a backend:
http://www.issuetrackerproduct.com/

His main site:

Zope webpage:

Rock on,
