Wow. I just finished watching the Pagoda screencast -- very impressive stuff. I definitely recommend taking a look. It's designed to drop right into any existing TurboGears project. It handles revision reviews, publication schedules, powerful plugins, wiki-like features, and all of the "web2.0" hotness you could ask for. However, it's still very immature, and parts of the screencast were actually mockups.. but it definitely has potential. luke _______________________________________________ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list
