This use case isn't too hard. Deliverance can do this for you, or you could take a look at http://bfg.repoze.org/tutorialbin/2/ for the same thing without Deliverance under BFG (or anything else). Trac is somewhat unique inasmuch as it appears to be *meant* to be abused in this way. Its HTML is very regular, and it seems to "just work". > I know it's very often a matter of personal preference or competence and > a matrix won't be a silver bullet but it would help IMO.

The "smaller" solutions (Pylons / BFG) are so similar to each other as to be almost indistinguishable. They're so similar that we've actually been trying to come to some form of convergence (see http://www.openplans.org/projects/pypefitters/lists/pypefitters-discussion), but unfortunately, differences in opinion about minor things has conspired againt any real convergence. The "middle" solutions (TG / Django / Zope) differ mostly in style. The "large" solution (Plone) is in a class of its own. It's more an application itself than a framework on which to build any old application. - C _______________________________________________ Repoze-dev mailing list Repoze-dev@lists.repoze.org http://lists.repoze.org/listinfo/repoze-dev
