okay, here's the background: I've been maintaining some websites since
the mid 90s. Most of it badly. I've coded by hand, used dreamweaver,
blosxom, twiki, and a few other doodads along the way like wordpress
and joomla. I'm sick of all of them and want "a better way". I wouldn't
call myself a web developer though I've done similar things at times. I
don't call myself a designer, though occasionally I've hacked together
some css that hangs together most of the time for most browsers.

I like what I see in django: the goals of doing the boring stuff so you
don't have to, the user community, the focus on aesthetics and
usability, the blend of developers AND designers, that it's python, and
so on.  Here's the rub: I don't have the time -- or energy -- to dive
in and learn django *right now*. At some point down the road I'd like
to though. What I want is to have a basic cms or blog system out of the
box, a la wordpress and brethren, based on django (because I think it's
a foundation with more solidity than what I've experienced so far). Is
there something like this available? If not now, will there be? When?
Or is django's aim to forever be a toolkit for real developers and to
stay out of the realm of applications?

thanks for your time and thoughts,

-matt
